The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

Man: The Dwelling Place of God (1992)

Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.

The Root of the Righteous (1955)

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Any belief that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only.
