Faith never goes contrary to reason -- faith simply ignores reason and rises above it.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

We must do something about the cross, and there’s only one of two things we can do- flee it or die upon it!

When our Lord looked at us, He saw not only what we were -- He was faithful in seeing what we could become! He took away the curse of being and gave us the glorious blessing of becoming.

For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.

As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.

Yet if we would know God and for other's sake tell what we know we must try to speak of his love. All Christians have tried but none has ever done it very well. I can no more do justice to that awesome and wonder-filled theme than a child can grasp a star. Still by reaching toward the star the child may call attention to it and even indicate the direction one must look to see it. So as I stretch my heart toward the high shining love of God someone who has not before known about it may be encouraged to look up and have hope.
