Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.

If Church history teaches us anything, it is that we cannot afford to be a vacillating Church. We minister to a people who are in great need of hearing truth, we dare not make any attempt to soft pedal that glorious truth.

Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love...receiving from above [faith] and giving out below [love].

The Deceiver can magnify a little sin for the purpose of causing one to worry, torture, and kill oneself with it. This is why a Christian should learn not to let anyone easily create an evil conscience in him. Rather let him say, "This error and this failing pass away with my other imperfections and sins, which I must include in the article of faith: I believe in the forgiveness of sins.

Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.

We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force.

God can be found only in suffering and the cross.
