No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.

I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'

What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.

For me Christ was not to be bought for thirty pieces of silver but with my heart's blood. We buy not cheap in this market.

We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.

As a child, I came across the Bible, but nobody in my family had anything to do with religion. I just felt a profound truth there that appealed to me.

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.
