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

If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.

If I empty out half of my life, God can only fill half...God will fill as much of us as we allow Him to fill.

In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him.

The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.
