It is less important to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than it is to inquire what he or she does with it.

To make the improving of our own character our central aim is hardly the highest kind of goodness. True goodness forgets itself and goes out to do the right thing for no other reason than that it is right.

Do things that will get people asking questions, the answer to which is the Gospel.

Our confidence...is not in the competence of our own knowing, but in the faithfulness and reliability of the one who is known.

God's grace is not limited by any ecclesiastical barriers.

...our societies appear to be intent on immediate consumption rather than on investment for the future. We are piling up enormous debts and exploiting the natural environment in a manner which suggests that we have no real sense of any worthwhile future. Just as a society which believes in the future saves in the present in order to invest in the future, so a society without belief spends everything now and piles up debts for future generations to settle. "Spend now and someone else will pay later."

Modern capitalism has created a world totally different from anything known before.
