I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance.

The God of the modern evangelical rarely astonishes anybody. He manages to stay pretty much with the constitution. Never break our by-laws. He's a very well-behaved God and very denominational and very much like one of us...we ask Him to help us when we're in trouble and look to Him to watch over us when we're asleep. The God of the modern evangelical isn't a God I could have much respect for.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
