The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God.
Phillips BrooksNothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except that which lies outside the will of God.
Phillips BrooksFeed on Christ, and then go and live your life, and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battle, and that wins the crown.
Phillips BrooksThe Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond; but most people only look at it; and so they see only the dead letter.
