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.

A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.

It is only with gratitude that life becomes rich!

Those who love their dream of a Christian community more than the Christian community itself become destroyers of that Christian community even though their personal intentions may be ever so honest, earnest, and sacrificial.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.

We are separated from one another by an unbridgeable gulf of otherness and strangeness which resists all our attempts to overcome it by means of natural association or emotional or spiritual union. There is no way from one person to another. However loving and sympathetic we try to be, however sound our psychology however frank and open our behaviour we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there are no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbors through Him.

The first call which every Christian experiences is the call to abandon the attachments of this world.
