I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.

Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought - that is, with discipline.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.

We must quit bending the Word to suit our situation. It is we who must be bent to that Word, our necks that must bow under the yoke.

Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ''in spirit and in truth.'' Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.

I am convinced that the human heart hungers for constancy. In forfeiting the sanctity of sex by casual, nondiscriminato ry "making out" and "sleeping around," we forfeit something we cannot well do without. There is dullness, monotony, sheer boredom in all of life when virginity and purity are no longer protected and prized.

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.
