Anyone who endeavors to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened. You are embarking on something that is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.

Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.'

To play well the scenes in which we are 'on' concerns us much more than to guess about the scenes that follow it.

Our struggle is--isn't it?--to achieve and retain faith on a lower level. To believe that there is a Listener at all. For as the situation grows more and more desperate, the grisly fears intrude. Are we only talking to ourselves in an empty universe? The silence is often so emphatic. And we have prayed so much already

I cannot speak for the way God deals with others; I only know how he deals with me personally.
