The gospel cannot be truly preached without offense and tumult.
God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.
Medicine makes people ill, mathematics make them sad and theology makes them sinful.
We are nothing with all our gifts be they ever so great, except God assist us.
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
