“now is the time to make justice a reality for all God’s children.”

“If the church is acceptable to this present age and is not suffering reproach, then it is not the true church that our Lord founded.”

“missing, intangible, undefinable “something” that we only know exists because we don’t seem to have it. “Something to do” represents the investment of the most precious commodity that we all have—our time. We all have the same amount of hours and minutes each day. Success and happiness hang in the balance based upon how”

“But instead, I decided to give a speech about the pride of giving and the importance of doing things without waiting for the government to do it for you. I pointed out that when individuals or private groups were involved in helping the needy, none of the contributions were spent on overhead or administrative costs, unlike government relief programs where $2 was often spent on overhead for every $1 that went to needy people.”

“You are the salt of the earth. But remember that salt is useful when in association, but useless in isolation.”

“God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free. Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.”

“I was not a great communicator, but I communicated great things.”

“Let peace be the umpire in your life, deciding with finality every question that arises in your mind (see Colossians 3:15).”

“Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember, the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

“Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life … all areas of life.”

“We do not need a new moral order; the world desperately needs the tried and tested moral order that God handed down at Sinai.”

“And the price we paid was the price men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this life—we went soft, we lost our edge.”

“If you fall into the category of people who want to make a great use of their existence, you need to ask yourself these two questions; “what am I doing now”?; “Where is it taking me to?”

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”

“Grace is the power of God to help us in other areas in which we cannot help ourselves.”
