The Nature Of Faith Is That It

Whenever The Conviction Of God's Spirit Comes There Is The Softening Of The Whole Nature To Obey; But If The Obedience Is Not Instant There Will Come A Metallic Hardening And A Corrupting Of The Guidance Of God.

Prayer Is Not Logical, It Is A Mysterious Moral Working Of The Holy Spirit.

The Teaching Of The Sermon On The Mount Is Not--do Your Duty, But--do What Is Not Your Duty. It Is Not Your Duty To Go The Second Mile, To Turn The Other Cheek, But Jesus Says If We Are His Disciples We Shall Always Do These Things. There Will Be No Spirit Of--"oh, Well, I Cannot Do Any More, I Have Been So Misrepresented And Misunderstood". . . Never Look For Right In The Other Man, But Never Cease To Be Right Yourself. We Are Always Looking For Justice; The Teaching Of The Sermon On The Mount Is--never Look For Justice, But Never Cease To Live It.

There Is Nothing Attractive About The Gospel To The Natural Man; The Only Man Who Finds The Gospel Attractive Is The Man Who Is Convicted Of Sin.

When A Man Is Born From Above, The Life Of The Son Of God Is Born In Him, And He Can Either Starve That Life Or Nourish It. Prayer Is The Way The Life Of God Is Nourished. Our Ordinary Views Of Prayer Are Not Found In The New Testament. We Look Upon Prayer As A Means Of Getting Things For Ourselves; The Bible's Idea Of Prayer Is That We May Get To Know God Himself.
