The cross is suffering with Christ.

The church ... is not just to bandage the victims under the wheel, but to put a spoke in the wheel itself.

Neighbourliness is not a quality in other people, it is simply their claim on ourselves.

Many Christians are unthinkably horrified when a real sinner is suddenly discovered among the righteous. So we remain alone with our sin, living in lies and hypocrisy...He who is alone with his sins is utterly alone.

What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, straghtforward men.

The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.

When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.
