Not everyone can wait: neither the sated nor the satisfied nor those without respect can wait. The only ones who can wait are people who carry restlessness around with them.

God is not a God of the emotions but the God of truth.

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.

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.

The gift of Christ is not the Christian religion, but the grace and love of God which culminate in the cross.

The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them.

What is the "extraordinary"? It is the love of Jesus Christ himself, love that goes to the cross in suffering obedience.
