Always the most revealing thing about the church is her idea of God.

We cannot grasp the true meaning of the divine holiness by thinking of someone or something very pure and then raising the concept to the highest degree we are capable of. God's holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God's power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine.

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 Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

I did not go through the Book. The Book went through me.

The good news isn't that God is victorious. How can He not be victorious? The good news is we can be victorious, too.

Most Christians would rather be happy than feel the wounds of other peoples' sorrows.
