Often we combat our evil thoughts most effectively if we absolutely refuse to allow them to be expressed in words.

Many people are looking for an ear that will listen. They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening.

A home is a kingdom of it's own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary.

Anything I cannot thank God for for the sake of Christ, I may not thank God for at all; to do so would be sin. ... We cannot rightly acknowledge the gifts of God unless we acknowledge the Mediator for whose sake alone they are given to us.

May God in His mercy lead us through these times; but above all, may He lead us to Himself.

While we exert ourselves to grow beyond our humanity, to leave the human behind us, God becomes human; and we must recognize that God wills that we be human, real human beings. While we distinguish between pious and godless, good and evil, noble and base, God loves real people without distinction.

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.
