It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.

... you... are stones of the temple of the Father, prepared for the Father's building, and drawn up on high by the instrument of Jesus Christ, which is the Cross (cf. Jn. 12:32), making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, while your faith was the means by which you ascended, and your love the way which led up to God. You, therefore, as well as all your fellow-travelers, are God-bearers, temple-bearers, Christ-bearers, bearers of holiness, adorned in all respects with the commandments of Jesus Christ.

Let us therefore be of a reverent spirit, and fear the long-suffering of God, that it tend not to our condemnation.

He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but actually to be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.

Let not then any one deceive you, as indeed you are not deceived, inasmuch as you are wholly devoted to God.

My dear Jesus, my Savior, is so deeply written in my heart, that I feel confident, that if my heart were to be cut open and chopped to pieces, the name of Jesus would be found written on every piece.
