 A little carelessness brings in defeat. Author: Watchman Nee |
| A Christian ought to realize what the weights laid on his spirit are. If he encounters it in the morning and does not deal with it at once, he experiences defeat the whole day long. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier. Author: Watchman Nee |
| May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be "worldly"; nay, we even delight in not remaining "in the world." Author: Watchman Nee |
| The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer's passivity. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Let the Christian mark this well that once he has perceived the will of God in his spirit's intuition his whole being needs to be employed actively in executing God's will. He should not be passive. Author: Watchman Nee |

| I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon (faint)as to all evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I will not judge him so is this -- because if you judge a person dead, you neglect him, you leave him; but if you judge him in a swoon,(faint) though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of his life.

| A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove. Author: William Gurnall |
| Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house. Author: William Gurnall |
| You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know. Author: William Wilberforce |
