We need not despair even in our worst, for our failures are forgiven. The only fatal thing is to sit down content with anything less than perfection.

God is love, and that love works through men-especially through the whole community of Christians.

We know we are sinners, it does not follow that we are saved.

The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

Man approaches God most nearly when he is in one sense least like God. For what can be more unlike than fullness and need, sovereignty and humility, righteousness and penitence, limitless power and a cry for help?

The road to the promised land runs past Sinai.

If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all
