One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.

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.

To delay or fail to make decisions may be more sinful than to make wrong decisions out of faith and love.
