He has room for people with very little sense, but He wants everyone to use what sense they have.

The longest way round is the shortest way home. (Quoting Alexander MacLaren, The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons)

You can make anything by writing.

We come to Scripture not to learn a subject but to steep ourselves in a person.

If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all the records, that though He has often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

Because we love something else more than this world, we love even this world more than those who know no other.

The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.
