“What God’s servants must resolve is that if God calls you, only He can dismiss you. Servants do not abandon their assignment when difficulties arise. Only their master can reassign them or permit them to withdraw. People must beware of taking charge of their divine service. Servants do not negotiate terms for their labor. They simply obey. We must not assume that because people attack us, criticize us, or refuse to help us, that we are entitled to quit. All others may retreat in the heat of battle, but God’s servants remain at their post.”

“How sublime it is when Christ has no caveats in His evaluation of a church or individual! However, it is foolhardy to assume we can tolerate one sin as long as the majority of our activities are praiseworthy. It only takes one sin to make us deserving of judgment.”

“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .”
