This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.

Our loving God wills that we eat, drink and be merry.

It is impossible to separate works from faith- yea, just as impossible as to separate burning and shining from fire.

O, when it comes to faith, what a living, creative, active, powerful thing it is. It cannot do other than good at all times. It never waits to ask whether there is some good work to do.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Stubbornness should have been my middle name.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
