Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?

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.

He who fears the face of God does not fear the face of man. He who fears the face of man does not fear the face of God.

But discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ...Christ speaks to us exactly as he spoke to them. It was not as though they first recognized him as the Christ and then received his command. They believed his word and command and recognized him as the Christ--in that order.

The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.

Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.

Love, in the sense of spontaneous, unreflective action, spells the death of the old man.
