Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.

Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.

The idea of the divine-human friendship originated with God. Had not God said first 'Ye are my friends?' (John 15:14)

We modern Christians are long on talk and short on conduct.

May God deliver us from the easygoing, smooth, comfortable Christianity that never lets the truth get hold of us.

The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.

Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.
