The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ.

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Who among us will celebrate Christmas correctly? Whoever finally lays down all power, l honor, all reputation, all vanity, all arrogance, all individualism beside the manger; whoever remains lowly and lets God alone be high; whoever looks at the child in the manger and sees the glory of God precisely in his lowliness.

Discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ.

God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises.

Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.

Certainly one must try everything, but only to become more certain what God's way is.
