God Does Not Choose A Person For

So Often We Have A Kind Of Vague, Wistful Longing That The Promises Of Jesus Should Be True. The Only Way Really To Enter Into Them Is To Believe Them With The Clutching Intensity Of A Drowning Man.

The Terrible Importance Of This Life Is That It Determines Eternity.

Certainly Christianity Is An Experience, But Equally Clearly The Validity Of Ane Experience Has To Be Tested. There Are People In Lunatic Asylums Who Have The Experience Of Being The Emperor Napoleon Or A Poached Egg. It Is Unquestionably An Experience, And To Them A Real Experience, But For All That It Has No Kind Of Universal Validity. It Is Necessary To Go Far Beyond Simply Saying That Something Comes From Experience. Before Any Such Thing Can Be Evaluated At All, The Source And Character Of The Experience Must Clearly Be Investigated.

To Repent Means To Realize That The Kind Of Life We Are Living Is Wrong And That We Must Adopt A Completely New Set Of Values. To That End, It Involves Two Things. It Involves Sorrow For What We Have Been And It Involves The Resolve That By The Grace Of God We Will Be Changed.

There Is No Joy In The World Like The Joy Of Bringing One Soul To Christ.
