In churches, we live with the danger of one-way verbal traffic.

Today there is no greater force in the molding of the North American mind than the invasion of the imagination by the visual media.

No matter how much we try to run away from this thirst for the answer to life, for the meaning of life, the intensity only gets stronger and stronger. We cannot escape these spiritual hungers.

I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.

It was not the volume of sin that sent Christ to the cross; it was the fact of sin.

Teaching at best beckons us to morality, but it is not in itself efficacious. Teaching is like a mirror. It can show you if your face is dirty, but it the mirror will not wash your face.

Whenever you try to break God's moral law, you end up breaking yourself and hurting others - all while proving His law in the process.
