I have sometimes called this 'double listening'. Listening to the voice of God in Scripture, and listening to the voices of the modern world, with all their cries of anger, pain and despair.

Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.

Don't neglect your critical faculties. Remember that God is a rational God, who has made us in His own image. God invites and expects us to explore His double revelation, in nature and Scripture, with the minds He has given us, and to go on in the development of a Christian mind to apply His marvellous revealed truth to every aspect of the modern and post-modern world.

The Bible isn’t about people trying to discover God, but about God reaching out to find us.

Do not be content with a static Christian life. Determine rather to grow in faith and love, in knowledge and holiness.

Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet; they cannot live together in harmony

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