The more deeply we grow into the psalms and the more often we pray them as our own, the more simple and rich will our prayer become.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.

Discipleship means adherence to Christ and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract theology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge of the subject of grace or the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous, and in fact exclude any idea of discipleship whatsoever, and are essentially inimical to the whole conception of following Christ....Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

There is no worse sin than unbelief toward the gospel.
