Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.

The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.

A world of confusion and disappointment results from trying to believe without obeying.

Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.

So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.

The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.
