The paradox of prayer is that it asks for a serious effort while it can only be received as a gift. We cannot plan, organize or manipulate God; but without a careful discipline, we cannot receive him either.

We must choose with our agency to obey in faith that the promised blessing will come, that the promise is true because it comes from God.

Lord cannot always spare you and your family and complete His redemptive work in those around you.

Have you received a word from the Master that awaits your next step of faith? If you will proceed with what He has told you, no matter how incredible it might seem, you will experience the joy of seeing your Lord perform a miracle, and so will those around you.

Don't settle for a religious life that lacks a vital relationship with Jesus Christ. When God is present, the difference will be obvious.

Natural man's sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.

Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.

Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants for me is only my deepest happiness.

Everybody wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.

It is not the objective proof of God's existence that we want but the experience of God's presence. That is the miracle we are really after, and that is also, I think, the miracle that we really get.

I do know this... I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

Ttheology is not practised apart from faith, prayer and adoration ... The whole subject matter of Christology is most intimately related to the secret of revelation ... the enlightenment of the eyes.
