Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Every word of Holy Scripture was a love letter from God directed very personally to us and he asked us whether we loved Jesus.

Every sermon must contain a certain shot of heresy.

And we simply cannot be constant with the fact that God’s cause is not always the successful one, that we really could be “unsuccessful”; and yet be on the right road. But this is where we find out whether we have begun in faith or in a burst of enthusiasm.

Christian marriage is marked by discipline and self-denial...C hristianity does not therefore depreciate marriage, it sanctifies it.

But to procrastinate and prevaricate simply because you're afraid of erring, when others - I mean our brethren in Germany - must make infinitely more difficult decisions every day, seems to me almost to run counter to love. To delay or fail to make decisions may be more sinful than to make wrong decisions out of faith and love.

Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.
