A holy man isn't aware that he's holy..As soon as we begin to talk about how holy we are, we aren't holy any more.

A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

A scared world needs a fearless church.

Love is both a principle and an emotion; it is something both felt and willed. It is capable of almost infinite degrees. Love in the human heart may begin so modestly as to be hardly perceptible and go on to become a raging torrent that sweeps its possessor before it in total helplessness.

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.

Heaven is beautiful because it is the expression of that which is the perfection of beauty.
