It is no sin to doubt some things, but it may be fatal to believe everything.

Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.

Our Lord told His disciples that love and obedience were organically united. The final test of love is obedience.

And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.

Let me never become a slave to crowds.

The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.

Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.
