“Many confuse understanding with believing”

Wisdom of the Ages
“It is not a minister’s wisdom but his conviction which imparts itself to others. Nothing gives life but life. Real flame alone kindles other flame; this was the power of the apostles: “We believe and therefore speak.” Firm faith in what they spoke, that was the basis of the apostles’ strength.
– Frederick W. Robertson

No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part
Wisdom of the Ages
“The pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part”

Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience
Wisdom of the Ages
“Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late – and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience”
