We should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't; not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.

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

Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.
