What we need to be assured of is not that we possess an excellent system of doctrine and ritual, but that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a reality.

The Spirit is Love expressed towards man as redeeming love, and the Spirit is truth, and the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness.

Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.

If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.

The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them.

The church was first established and organized with a world-wide mission for a world-wide work.

Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.

We want Paul's theology and his results but not his methods.

Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death.

The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.

I won't let my best friends do silly, stupid, annoying, funny things-WITHOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!

By the power of God, everything came into existence.

My uncle Ernie didn't believe in God.At least that's what he said. But he alwaysWent to church on Christmas. Which I thoughtSeriously compromised his atheism.

Development cannot really be so centered only on those in power.

Modernization means Westernization.

I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.
