Man is created for the glory of God.

The reason why men do not look to the Church today is that she has destroyed her own influence by compromise.

What we do in the crisis always depends on whether we see the difficulties in the light of God, or God in the shadow of the difficulties.

The Church did the most when the Church was the least like the world.

The supreme need in every hour of difficulty and distress is for a fresh vision of God. Seeing Him, all else takes on proper perspective and proportion.

If you have no opposition in the place you serve, you're serving in the wrong place.

Holiness is not freedom from temptation, but power to overcome temptation.

The three essentials for great preaching are: truth, clarity, and passion.

The supreme thing is worship. The attitude of worship is the attitude of a subject bent before the King... The fundamental thought is that of prostration, of bowing down.

Prayer is life passionately wanting, wishing, desiring God's triumph. Prayer is life striving, toiling everywhere and everywhen for that ultimate victory.

My ideal role would be anything that allows me to play anyone the public is familiar with and to be able to show them that, but in a new light.

Even though I'm seventeen, I guess I still thought this would always be true - that there would always be that lost-and-found, and not the lost-and-still-lost that I am now trapped inside.

Only the Holy Spirit can give you the power to not think about yourself, to set you free from yourself.

I tried to be someone else, but nothing seemed to change. I know now, this is who I really am inside. I've finally found myself, fighting for a chance. I know now, this is who I really am.

What I want to accomplish artistically amounts to nothing more than fulfilling the promise of the American Revolution.

It’s like someone who prays every night saying God’s a good listener. Just because you’re talking to us doesn’t mean we’re listening. With me and God, you never really know.

Sure, I eat because I have to. But I also eat because I want to. It is one of life's few pleasures.

The past in retrospect holds manifold disenchantments, failures and even tragedies; and yet the worse may be forgotten and the best held fast.
