The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose.

Before we can be cured, we must want to be cured.

If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not.

I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end; that the doors of hell are locked on the inside.

A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems.

If minds are wholly dependent on brains and brains on biochemistry, and biochemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of the atoms, I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees.

God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than He is of any other slacker.
