I believe that God both wills and is able to bring good out of everything, even the worst... I believe that even our mistakes and wrongdoing are not fruitless.

The followers of Christ have been called to peace. . . . And they must not only have peace but make it. And to that end they renounce all violence and tumult. In the cause of Christ nothing is to be gained by such methods . . . . His disciples keep the peace by choosing to endure suffering themselves rather than inflict it on others. They maintain fellowship where others would break it off. They renounce hatred and wrong. In so doing they overcome evil with good, and establish the peace of God in the midst of a world of war and hate.

Jesus himself did not try to convert the two thieves on the cross; he waited until one of them turned to him.

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

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

Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.

The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
