the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

We do God’s work for our brothers and sisters when we learn to listen to them. So often Christians, especially preachers, think that their only service is always to have to 'offer' something when they are together with other people. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking. Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking even when they should be listening.

It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can raise the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them.

The right way to pray is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.
