Christian faith does not involve repressing one's anxiety in order to appear strong. On the contrary, it means recognizing one's weakness, accepting the inward truth about oneself, confessing one's anxiety, and still to believe, that is to say that the Christian puts his trust not in his own strength, but in the grace of God.

We are always looking for a grand program of action full of great ideas, when the thing is to begin by obeying the little ideas.

The really important thing in life is not the avoidance of mistakes, but the obedience of faith. By obedience, the man is led step by step to correct his errors, whereas nothing will ever happen to him if he doesn't get going.

We do not posses God. We find him periodically.

Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.
