If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.

Both Catholics and Protestants have failed our people by mystifying the very notion of mysticism. The word itself has become relegated to a "misty" and distant realm that implies it is only available to very few and something not to be trusted, much less attractive or desirable. For me, the word "mysticism" simply means experiential knowledge of spiritual things, as opposed to book knowledge, secondhand knowledge, or even church knowledge.

since God's Word is living, he who listens and does not have a living response is he who has not actually heard the Word of God.

Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.

God is an essence that we know nothing of. Until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there never will be any liberal science in the world.

No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.

It is in fact more important for us to know what God did to Israel, to His Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today.

If you truly understood the holiness of God, you would have a proper attitude about yourself.

Of that ineffable essence which we call Spirit, he that thinks most, will say least.

I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
