Fanciful spiritualizing, so far from yielding God's meaning, actually obscured it. The literal sense is itself the spiritual sense, coming from God and leading to Him.

We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God.

Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.

The meaning of "He will give us all things" can be put thus: one day we will see that nothing - literally nothing - which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing - literally nothing - that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us.

Many humanists in the West are stirred by a sense of outrage at what professed Christians, past and present, have done; and this makes them see their humanism as a kind of crusade, with the killing of Christianity as its prime goal.

There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.

A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
