You may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God.

Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.

Of course God does not consider you hopeless. If He did He would not be moving you to seek Him (and He obviously is). What is going on in you at present is simply the beginning of the treatment. Continue seeking with cheerful seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.

I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.

The only thing Christianity can not be...is moderately important.

Besides reasoning about matters of fact, men also make moral judgements.

He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only.
