It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.

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

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.

Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like; it means being free to do as we ought.

But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more

The greatest thing is a life of obedience in the routine things of everyday life. No amount of fine feeling can take the place of faithful doing.

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ; it is also commitment to his demands.
