“God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.”
“The call of God is a call according to the nature of God; where we go in obedience to that call depends entirely on the providential circumstances which God engineers, and is not of any moment. The danger is to fit the call of God into the idea of our own discernment and say, “God called me there.” If we say so and stick to it, then it is good-bye to the development of the life of God in us.”
“Did I hear God call me an idiot? ”
“It's kind of shocking to hear Toby called a babe; sort of like calling God a studmuffin.”
“I will not call it my philosophy; for I did not make it. God and humanity made it; and it made me.”
“Pray as if it all depends upon God, for it does. But work as if it all depends upon us, for it does.”
