In the Bible, the race of life is never considered from the viewpoint of speed... We are to run it with patience.

God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.

Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul; for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

No religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.
