Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.

Our only qualitifcation for God's grace is our emptiness, not our fullness; our undeservingness, not our deservingness.

Someone once said that if you sat a million monkeys at a million typewriters for a million years, one of them would eventually type out all of Hamlet by chance. But when we find the text of Hamlet, we don't wonder whether it came from chance and monkeys. Why then does the atheist use that incredibly improbable explanation for the universe? Clearly, because it is his only chance of remaining an atheist. At this point we need a psychological explanation of the atheist rather than a logical explanation of the universe.

If we rely on anything else besides faith to maintain the practice of the presence of God, we will certainly fail, whether this is our feelings, or experiences, or sincerity, or good intentions, or reasonings, or plans. The reason these things will fail while faith will not fail is that all these things depend on us, while faith depends on God. It is a gift of God.

You have to say no to something else, in order to make time to pray.

The solution to our suffering is our suffering!

Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
