Justice is not always done in this world; we see that everyday. But on the Last Day it will be done for all to see. And no one will be able to complain by saying, "This isn't fair."

The Christian's whole desire, at its best and highest, is that Jesus Christ be praised. It is always a wretched bastardization of our goals when we want to win glory for ourselves instead of for him.

Our prayers may be an index of how small and self-centered our world is.

To God on whom we rely knows what suffering is all about- not merely in the way that God knows everything, but by experience.

A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during this life will not seem too terribly important.

If it is hard to accept a rebuke, even a private one, it is harder still to administer one in loving humility.

The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.
