Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.

The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.

When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life.
