We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.

The world does not hate its own. It does hate our Lord. It hates His followers. Where do you belong in this lineup?

If you would try out a preacher, send him to preach to farmers: if he cannot make the grade there, let him reconsider his call - or maybe he needs to be converted.

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

It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.

We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to "grow in grace" and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
