That fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than that fact that I will die.

Innumerable times a whole Christian community has broken down because it had sprung from a wish dream… Every human wish dream that is injected into the Christian community is a hindrance to genuine community and must be banished if genuine community is to survive. He who loves his dream of a community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.

A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.

Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.

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.

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

Faith is only real when there is obedience, never without it, and faith only becomes faith in the act of obedience.
