The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.

He (man) is both dust of earth and breath of God.

Faith is loved and honored by God more than any other single thing.

I don't think there is a single social issue I haven't spoken on.

Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.

I know God is in charge. Not me, I'm nothing. I wouldn't be anything except for the power of the spirit of God.

One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.
