When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.
E. Stanley JonesThe early Christians did not say, in dismay, 'Look what the world has come to,' but, in delight, 'Look what has come to the world!”
E. Stanley JonesWhen man listens, God speaks; when man obeys, God acts; when man prays, God empowers.
E. Stanley JonesAn individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost, the other a corpse.
E. Stanley JonesIn our Ashrams of East and West, places of spiritual retreat, we begin with what we call "The Morning of the Open Heart," in which we tell our needs. . . . We give four or five hours to this catharsis. The reaction of one member, who listened to it for the first time, was: "Good gracious, have we all the disrupted people in the country here?" My reply was: "No, you have a cross section of the church life honestly revealed." In the ordinary church, it is suppressed by respectability, by a desire to a appear better than we really are.
