“We are unique as Christians. A. W. Tozer puts it this way: ‘The real Christian is an odd human being anyway. The Christian feels supreme love for One he has never seen. He talks every day with somebody he can’t see. He expects to go to heaven on the virtue of somebody else. He empties himself in order to be full. He admits he is wrong so he can be declared right. He goes down in order to get up. He’s strongest when he’s weakest, richest when he’s poorest, happiest when he feels the worst. He died so he can live. He forsakes in order to have. He gives away so he can keep. He sees the invisible, hears the inaudible and knows that which passeth knowledge.’” (Page 12)

“Not until a person knows what it means to be at peace with himself in his own heart, in his relationship with his Creator, and then with those who are the creatures of the Creator, can a person know what it means to have peace in a true sense.” (Page 40)

“ ‘By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another’ (John 13:35).” (Page 21)

“The flesh is at war with the Spirit and the Spirit is at war with the flesh.” (Page 11)

“How does God teach us longsuffering and patience? Through trouble, difficulty and tribulation. That’s the way we learn. So when those things come, we need to treat them not as enemies but as friends, as God’s tools in our lives to teach us to be patient and longsuffering.” (Page 52)
