Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.

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

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

We reverence God and we hallow God's name when our life is such that it brings honor to God and attracts others to Him.

The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.

The true, the genuine worship is when man, through his spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.

Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
