t is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.”

After we have been perfectly related to God in sanctification, our faith has to be worked out in actualities. We shall be scattered, not into work, but into inner desolations and made to know what internal death to God’s blessings means. Are we prepared for this?

Sometimes there is nothing to obey, the only thing to do is to maintain a vital connection with Jesus Christ, to see that nothing interferes with that.  Only occasionally do we have to obey.

Many of us are loyal to our notions of Jesus Christ, but how many of us are loyal to Him?. . .Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.

We put sensitive loyalty to relatives in place of loyalty to Jesus Christ and Jesus has to take the last place. In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus Christ at all costs.

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.

The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.

Get into the habit of saying, “Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance
