Endurance is a key indicator of spiritual fitness.

It is in our forgiveness of other people’s sins against us that we reveal the fact that we have been truly forgiven by God.

Christianity is not about how to escape from the difficulties of life - it is about how to face the difficulties of life.

We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.

I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through Jesus Christ I'm more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.

Death for the Christian is to fall asleep in the arms of Jesus and waking up and finding out that you're home.

What kind of wonderful God is this who reaches down into the lives of people, picks them up, grants them faith, and changes them!

When grace begins to rule, then our preoccupation with ourselves begins to leave.

Unfortunately, preachers who distort God's Word are all too common today. Sometimes this springs from a sincere desire to soften hard hearts, but hearts aren't changed by compromise.

You don’t know who you are until you know God and you don’t know how to live until you've settled the question of how to die.

It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.

Everything in the world was about creativity: belief and creation. Storytelling was the essence of both.

Your body's dying...pay no attention

I attribute my success to my mental approach to the game. I have always been a serious student of umpiring. I enjoy studying rules, situations, and positioning.

You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.

Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake.

Another secret we carry is that though drab outside - wreckage to the eye, mirrors a mortification - inside we flame with a wild life that is almost incommunicable.

It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people.

I guess they needed a maze in Japan, where everything's neat and tidy. In America everybody's already wandering around lost.

Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.

Good-faith re-examination of a position you've held in the past should be seen as a virtue, not a vice.
