The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians... The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks.

Without worship, we go about miserable.

A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.

His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed; He knew, and He knows.

Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.

Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.

Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
