The Nature Of Faith Is That It

Earnestness Is Not By Any Means Everything; It Is Very Often A Subtle Form Of Pious Pride Because It Is Obsessed With The Method And Not With The Master.

We Lean To Our Own Understanding, Or We Bank On Service And Do Away With Prayer, And Consequently By Succeeding In The External We Fail In The Eternal, Because In The Eternal We Succeed Only By Prevailing Prayer.

To Be Obsessed By God Is To Have An Effective Barricade Against All The Assaults Of The Enemy.

What Hinders Me From Hearing Is That I Am Taken Up With Other Things. It Is Not That I Will Not Hear God, But I Am Not Devoted In The Right Place. I Am Devoted To Things, To Service, To Convictions, And God May Say What He Likes But I Do Not Hear Him.

All Heaven Is Interested In The Cross Of Christ, All Hell Terribly Afraid Of It, While Men Are The Only Beings Who More Or Less Ignore Its Meaning.
