A Life Of Prayer Is A Life Whose Litanies Are Ever Fresh Acts Of Self-devoting Love.

This Is The Ministry And Its Work--not To Drill Hearts And Minds And Consciences Into Right Forms Of Thought And Mental Postures, But To Guide To The Living God Who Speaks.

It Is Not By Change Of Circumstances, But By Fitting Our Spirits To The Circumstances In Which God Has Placed Us, That We Can Be Reconciled To Life And Duty.

To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing, To Repent Is Another.

For When Man Comes To Front The Everlasting God, And Look The Splendor Of His Judgments In The Face, Personal Integrity, The Dream Of Spotlessness And Innocence, Vanishes Into Thin Air: Your Decencies And Your Church-goings And Your Regularities And Your Attachment To A Correct School And Party, Your Gospel Formulas Of Sound Doctrine--what Is All That, In Front Of The Blaze Of The Wrath To Come?
