Probably the greatest tragedy of the church throughout its long and checkered history has been its constant tendency to conform to the prevailing culture instead of developing a Christian counter-culture .

Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.

So close was Christ's connection with God that he equated a man's attitude to himself with the man's attitude to God.

The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.

The Christian life is not just our own private affair. If we have been born again into God's family, not only has he become our Father but every other Christian believer in the world, whatever his nation or denomination, has become our brother or sister in Christ. But it is no good supposing that membership of the universal Church of Christ is enough; we must belong to some local branch of it. Every Christian's place is in a local church. sharing in its worship, its fellowship, and its witness.

...The first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.

Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
