Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

A Christian is something before he does anything; and we have to be Christian before we can act as Christians.

So let me put it thus: Hold on to your principles of morality and ethics, use your willpower to the limit, pay great heed to every noble, uplifting desire that is in you; but realize that these things alone are not enough, that they will never bring you to the desired place. We have to realize that all our best is totally inadequate, that a spiritual battle must be fought in a spiritual manner.

The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.
