Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.

The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.

We can tell much by what we have already willing discarded along the pathway of discipleship. It is the only pathway where littering is permissible, even encouraged. In the early stages, the debris left behind includes the grosser sins of commission. Later debris differs; things begin to be discarded which have caused the misuse or underuse of our time and talent.

Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.

Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.

It is understandable how some people could give way to this kind of pervasive pessimism, but we speak of a gospel which brings good tidings of great joy and this must be reflected in our lives, if we are to be believable especially as we suggest to others that there is, in fact, not only a better way, but also the way. Scriptures that speak of man as a being who "might have joy" have more impact when falling from the lips or pens of men and women whose lives give fresh evidence of the validity of that scripture.
