Now the great thing is this: we are consecrated and dedicated to God in order that we may thereafter think, speak, meditate, and do, nothing except to his glory. For a sacred thing may not be applied to profane uses without marked injury to him.

Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.

On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction... but, on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either.

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.

Since we are all naturally prone to hypocrisy, any empty semblance of righteousness is quite enough to satisfy us instead of righteousness itself.

The highest honor in the church is not government but service.
