Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.

If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.

We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.

When we are weakest and most despondent, Jesus is most considerate. When there is a break in our progress or we have a spell of depression, he sees the whole of our lives and in the light of that He is longsuffering with discordant details.

A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.

The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.

What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
