Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.

We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He fills heaven and earth as the ocean fills the bucket that is submerged in it, and as the ocean surrounds the bucket so does God in the universe He fills. "The heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee." God is not contained: He contains.

Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one.

Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.
