It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.

When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself - a saint, or a converted sinner, or a churchman (a so-called clerical somebody), a righteous or unrighteous man,...and throws himself into the arms of God...then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane. That is faith, that is metanoia and it is thus that he becomes a man and Christian.

Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.

When you read the Bible, you must think that here and now, God is speaking with me

The early morning belongs to the Church of the risen Christ. At the break of light it remembers the morning on which death and sin lay prostrate in defeat and new life and salvation were given to mankind

Then fear will grow pale and fade away, and you will be free, through your faith in our strong and living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.
