Theology is not a private subject for theologians only. Nor is it a private subject for professors. Fortunately, there have always been pastors who have understood more about theology than most professors. Nor is theology a private subject of study for pastors. Fortunately, there have repeatedly been congregation members, and often whole congregations, who have pursued theology energetically while their pastors were theological infants or barbarians. Theology is a matter for the Church.

Grace and gratitude go together like heaven and earth.

Impossibility is more possible than everything which we hold to be possible.

There will be no song on our lips if there be no anguish in our hearts.

Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.

Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.

Belief cannot argue with unbelief, it can only preach to it.
