There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.

Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.

No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.

...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The "work" of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.

God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.

I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.

Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.
