The church is only the church when it exists for others. To make a start, it should give away all its property to those in need. The clergy must live solely on the free-will offerings of their congregations, or possibly engage in some secular calling. The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live in Christ, to exist for others.

Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends

The devil doesn't fill us with hatred for God, but with forgetfulness of God.

Possessions are not God's blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which he entrusts to us.

When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.

One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.

Faith is only real when there is obedience, never without it, and faith only becomes faith in the act of obedience.
