There is not a place to which the Christian can withdraw from the world, whether it be outwardly or in the sphere of the inner life. Any attempt to escape from the world must sooner or later be paid for with a sinful surrender to the world.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating.

Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together.

A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.

Just as our love for God begins with listening to God's Word, the beginning of love for other Christians is learning to listen to them.

Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love.
