Every discouraging sermon is a wicked sermon... There could hardly be a more un-Christian way of living than to go about in such a way as to depress and to discourage other people.

It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.

The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.

It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are.
