The path to holiness lies through questioning everything.
Go put your creed into your deed, Nor speak with double tongue.
Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the living heart.
In order to see Christianity, one must forget all the Christians.
The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide.
Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
If you haven't found something strange during the day, it hasn't been much of a day.
When you see God in everyone, then they see God in you.
There is no shame in confusion or fear. "There was only shame in the silence fear had produced. . . . It was the silence that betrayed us."
The silence killed your faith.
The pain I felt was my father's pain.
How do we transform mere power into justice, mere sentiment into love?
God declared me righteous!
Grace is ours. Let's live it! Deny it or debate it and we kill it.
Pride leaves no room for grace.
GRACE: All you can do is take it.
Some have supposed that the mosquito is of a devout turn, and never will partake of a meal without first saying grace. The devotions of some men are but a preface to blood-sucking.
Beauty from another world gave birth to your voice-- sent to rescue scorned hearts from traumatized nights.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God. Not in doing what you like but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness.

Again, the moment a person calls on the Lord he is saved. But the evidence is not that one time in their life they were sincere when they prayed a prayer.

It is this one Spirit who makes it possible for an infant to be regenerated . . . when that infant is brought to baptism; and it is through this one Spirit that the infant so presented is reborn. For it is not written, 'Unless a man be born again by the will of his parents' or 'by the faith of those presenting him or ministering to him,' but, 'Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit.' The water, therefore, manifesting exteriorly the sacrament of grace, and the Spirit effecting interiorly the benefit of grace, both regenerate in one Christ that man who was generated in Adam.
