The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.

Suppose our failures occur, not in spite of what we are doing, but precisely because of it.

Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.

The union Christ had with the Father was the greatest that we can conceive of in this life-if indeed we can conceive of it.

We cannot handle injustice by finding more ways to impose what is in fact "right" on people. It has to come from the inside. And that's where the church should be working.

Individually the disciple and friend of Jesus who has learned to work shoulder to shoulder with his or her Lord stands in this world as a point of contact between heaven and earth, a kind of Jacob’s ladder by which the angels of God may ascend from and descend into human life. Thus the disciple stands as an envoy or a receiver by which the kingdom of God is conveyed into every quarter of human affairs.

We don't have to be brilliant.
