When You Are In The Dark, Listen,

The Only Basis On Which To Work For God Is An Esteemed Appreciation Of His Deliverance.

We Are Not Built For The Mountains And The Dawns And Aesthetic Affinities, Those Are For Moments Of Inspiration, That Is All. We Are Built For The Valley, For The Ordinary Stuff We Are In, And That Is Where We Have To Prove Our Mettle. Spiritual Selfishness Always Wants Repeated Moments On The Mount. We Feel We Could Talk Like Angels And Live Like Angels, If Only We Could Stay On The Mount. The Times Of Exaltation Are Exceptional, They Have Their Meaning In Our Life With God, But We Must Beware Lest Our Spiritual Selfishness Wants To Make Them The Only Time.

Sin Is Not Weakness, It Is A Disease; It Is Red-handed Rebellion Against God And The Magnitude Of That Rebellion Is Expressed By Calvary's Cross.

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.

Prayer Is Not Getting Things From God. That Is A Most Initial Stage; Prayer Is Getting Into Perfect Communion With God: I Tell Him What I Know He Knows In Order That I May Get To Know It As He Does.
