When God Gives A Vision, Transact Business

Our Lord’s Teaching Is Always Anti-self-realization. His Purpose Is Not The Development Of A Man; His Purpose Is To Make A Man Exactly Like Himself, And The Characteristic Of The Son Of God Is Self-expenditure.

We Are In Danger Of Forgetting That We Cannot Do What God Does, And That God Will Not Do What We Can Do. We Cannot Save Ourselves Nor Sanctify Ourselves, God Does That; But God Will Not Give Us Good Habits, He Will Not Give Us Character, He Will Not Make Us Walk Aright. We Have To Do All That Ourselves.

We Are Only What We Are In The Dark; All The Rest Is Reputation.

We Tend To Use Prayer As A Last Resort, But God Wants It To Be Our First Line Of Defense. We Pray When There's Nothing Else We Can Do, But God Wants Us To Pray Before We Do Anything At All. Most Of Us Would Prefer, However, To Spend Our Time Doing Something That Will Get Immediate Results. We Don't Want To Wait For God To Resolve Matters In His Good Time Because His Idea Of 'good Time' Is Seldom In Sync With Ours.

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.
