Every sermon must contain a certain shot of heresy.

The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving.

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.

Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.

How wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. . . . We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know; God wants us to realize his presence, not in unsolved problems but in those that are solved. . . . God is no stop-gap; he must be recognized as the center of life, not when we are at the end of our resources.

The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.

The world upon whom grace is thrust as a bargain will grow tired of it.
