It is grace, nothing but grace, that we are allowed to live in community with Christian brethren.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

God wants to see human beings, not ghosts who shun the world. . . . Our marriage must be a 'yes' to God's earth. It must strengthen our resolve to do and accomplish something on earth. I fear that Christians who venture to stand on earth on only one leg will stand in heaven on only one leg too.

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

Jesus is the only significance. Beside Jesus nothing has any significance. He alone matters.

The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.

The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them.
