We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.....We must not.....assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.

A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me. His face, that hitherto may have been strange and intolerable to me, is transformed in intercession into the countenance of a brother for whom Christ died, the face of a forgiven sinner.

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. Such a man knows that the call to discipleship is a gift of grace, and that the call is inseparable from the grace. But those who try to use this grace as a dispensation from following Christ are simply deceiving themselves.

I need the Christ that is in you, and you need the Christ that is in me.

Neighbourliness is not a quality in other people, it is simply their claim on ourselves.

The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.

We should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't; not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.
