To be a Christian and to pray are one and the same thing; it is a matter that cannot be left to our caprice. It is a need, a kind of breathing necessary to life.

We act unbelievingly and disobediently when, for whatever motive, we distort, falsify, or suppress the facts about our life in nature and history.

He [Jesus Christ] is the Master of all as the Servant of all.

The term 'laity' is one of the worst in the vocabulary of religion and ought to be banished from the Christian conversation.

That the zeal for God's honor is also a dangerous passion, that the Christian must bring with him the courage to swim against the tide instead of with it... accept a good deal of loneliness, will perhaps be nowhere so clear and palpable as in the church, where he would so much like things to be different. Yet he cannot and he will not refuse to take this risk and pay this price... he belongs where the reformation of the church is underway or will again be underway.

Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

Take your Bible and take your newspaper, and read both. But interpret newspapers from your Bible.
