Let us think of a Christian believer in whose life the twin wonders of repentance and the new birth have been wrought. He is now living according to the will of God as he understands it from the written Word. Of such a one it may be said that every act of his life is or can be as truly sacred as prayer or baptism or the Lord's Supper. To say this is not to bring all acts down to one dead level; it is rather to lift every act up into a living kingdom and turn the whole of life into a sacrament.

One thing the young Christian should be taught as quickly as possible after his conversion is that Jesus Christ is all he needs.

Honesty that can be trusted and respected is a very fragrant flower in the life of a Christian.

I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.

The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?

Mans nature indicates that he was created for three things: To think, to worship and to work. But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the Mystery inexpressible.
