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.

Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.

God must speak to us before we have any liberty to speak to him. He must disclose to us who he is before we can offer him what we are in acceptable worship. The worship of God is always a response to the Word of God. Scripture wonderfully directs and enriches our worship.

The Cross is the blazing fire at which the flame of our love is kindled, but we have to get near enough for its sparks to fall on us.

The overriding reason why we should take other people's cultures seriously is because God has taken ours seriously.

Our claim is that God has revealed Himself by speaking; that this divine (or God-breathed) speech has been written down and preserved in Scripture; and that Scripture is, in fact, God's Word written, which therefore is true and reliable and has divine authority over men.

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