Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.

Every time we mention God we become theologians, and the only question is whether we are going to be good ones or bad ones.

There is unspeakable comfort in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good.

Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.

Christ had no interest in gathering vast crowds of professed adherents who would melt away as soon as they found out what following Him actually demanded of them. In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.

Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.

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