The more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer; and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.
If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it's bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited.
Wherever Christianity has produced what historians call a 'popular piety' claiming to be part of the national heritage, anti-Christian reaction among the intelligentsia has followed.
There is unspeakable comfort in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good.
Jesus' pattern prayer, which is both crutch, road, and walking lesson for the spiritually lame like ourselves, tells us to start with God: for God matters infinitely more than we do.
Ease and luxury, such as our affluence brings today, do not make for maturity; hardship and struggle however do.
...love and pity for hell's occupants will not enter our hearts.
What we often feel in ecstatic moments in this world - 'I don't ever want this to stop' - will be the constant thought of our hearts in that world. We shall think it, knowing that in fact it never WILL stop.
A simple Bible reader and sermon hearer who is full of the Holy Spirit will develop a far deeper acquaintance with his God and Savior than a more learned scholar who is content with being theologically correct.
Sanctification has a double aspect. Its positive side is vivification, the growing and maturing of the new man; its negative side is mortification, the weakening and killing of the old man.
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.
We approach Scripture with minds already formed by the mass of accepted opinions and viewpoints with which we have come into contact, in both the Church and the world....It is easy to be unaware that it has happened; it is hard even to begin to realize how profoundly tradition in this sense has moulded us.
It has been said that in the New Testament doctrine is grace; and ethics is gratitude; and something is wrong with any form of Christianity in which, experimentally and practically, this saying is not being verified. Those who suppose that the doctrine of God's grace tends to encourage moral laxity are simply showing that, in the most literal sense, they do not know what they are talking about. For love awakens love in return; and love, once awakened, desires to give pleasure.
