No theology is genuinely Christian which does not arise from and focus on the cross.

We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.

Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.

Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.

When we look at the cross we see the justice, love, wisdom and power of God. It is not easy to decide which is the most luminously revealed, whether the justice of God in judging sin, or the love of God in bearing the judgment in our place, or the wisdom of God in perfectly combining the two, or the power of God in saving those who believe. For the cross is equally an act, and therefore a demonstration, of God’s justice, love, wisdom and power. The cross assures us that this God is the reality within, behind and beyond the universe.

Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.

It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
