The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend.

Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were 'normal.' Nothing is normal while sin and lust and death roam the world, pouncing upon one and another till the whole population has been destroyed.

If I understand this correctly Christ taught here the alarming doctrine that the desire for honor among men made belief impossible.

The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world, the more we forget that there's another world to come.

And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.

We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.

No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
