A man may be theologically knowing and spiritually ignorant.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.

Power is God's hand or arm, omniscience is God's eye, mercy is God's delight, eternity is God's duration, but holiness is God's beauty!

I will scrape and dig into every word as far as I can get, right down to the essence of the word, to the substance of the image.

Some of my best friends are Hindu or Buddhist or Sikh, my students as well. This is the sea in which I swim.
