I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.

We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.

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

As long as Christ sits on the throne, every day is a good day and all days are days of salvation.

We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.

I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
