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

God does not choose a person for ease and comfort and selfish joy but for a task that will take all that head and heart and hand can bring to it. God chooses a man in order to use him.

More people have been brought into the church by the kindness of real Christian love than by all the theological arguments in the world.

We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.

Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.

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