Sin has made us stupid, so that we can only learn the hard way.

Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts. God designed your body's plumbing system. God designed an ostrich. If He didn't do it, He permitted a drunken angel to do it. Empirical facts can add significantly to the meaning of "being godlike".

A pure heart means a single heart, a heart in which only one desire lives: love.

Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.

Our judgements of good and evil ... presuppose God as the standard. If there's no God, there's neither good nor evil. There's just nature doing what it does

Gratitude is the seedbed of joy.

If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining; If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
