Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.

Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.

Only those who obey can believe, and only those who believe can obey.

Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

It is the fellowship of the Cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.

A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.
