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.

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

A day without morning and evening prayers and personal intercessions is actually a day without meaning or importance.

Love asks nothing in return, but seeks those who need it. And who needs our love more than those who are consumed with hatred and are utterly devoid of love.

Before Jesus leads His disciples into suffering, humiliation, disgrace, and disdain, He summons them and shows Himself to them as the Lord in God's glory.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.

Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.
