Every truth of the Christian faith taken hold of by the mind makes
a call upon the will. In proportion as that claim is answered the
life is sanctified.
The disciples did not ask the Lord ‘Lord, teach us how to pray’ but
‘Lord, teach us to pray’. A great many people know how to pray,
but they do not pray. The request ‘Teach us how to pray’, will refer
simply to the theory. The petition ‘Lord teach us to pray’ is of
much fuller import and includes theory and practice.
The reason why men do not look to the Church today is that she
has destroyed her own influence by compromise.
“If the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is
fit only to be cast out and trodden under foot of man.” And that is
what happens to Christian men and women who name the name
of Christ, and are not salt. They are trodden under foot of men;
they are despised by their day and generation. The world itself
holds us in supreme contempt if we profess to be Christian and
are not holy.
The Jesus that men want to see is not the Jesus they really need
to see.
The faith that does not come from reason is to be doubted, and the
reason that does not lead to faith is to be feared.
The deepest passion of the heart of Jesus was not the saving of
men, but the glory of God, and then the saving of men, because
that is for the glory of God.
Revival cannot be organized, but we can set our sails to catch the
wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people
once again
There is one sure and infallible guide to truth, and therefore, one,
and only one corrective for error, and that is the Word of God.
There are three main reasons why Christians are often defeated by
the devil. The first because there is neither submission to God nor
resistance to the Devil. The second is because there is resistance
but no submission. The third is because there is submission
without resistance. Therefore SUBMIT to God and RESIST the
devil.
