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.

The Christian life is participation in the encounter of Christ with the world.

There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.

The time is short. Eternity is long. It is the time of decision.

Possessions are not God's blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which he entrusts to us.

If our Christianity has ceased to be serious about discipleship, if we have watered down the gospel into emotional uplift which makes no costly demands and which fails to distinguish between natural and Christian existence, then we cannot help regarding the cross as an ordinary everyday calamity, as one of the trials and tribulations of life. We have then forgotten that the cross means rejection and shame as well as suffering .

Ultimate seriousness in not without a dose of humor.
