The reign of God is his reign over all things.

Live in the kingdom of God in such a way that it provokes questions for which the gospel is the answer.

I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.

The church is not meant to call men and women out of the world into a safe religious enclave but to call them out in order to send them back as agents of God's kingship.

It is less important to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than it is to inquire what he or she does with it.

Do things that will get people asking questions, the answer to which is the Gospel.

It has never at any time been possible to fit the resurrection of Jesus into any world view except a world view of which it is the basis.

The Church, wherever it is, is not only Christ's witness to its own people and nation, but also the home-base for a mission to the ends of the earth.

Our confidence...is not in the competence of our own knowing, but in the faithfulness and reliability of the one who is known.

The Church must be seen as the company of pilgrims on the way to the end of the world and the ends of the earth.

God's grace is not limited by any ecclesiastical barriers.

It is not until we have passed through the furnace that we are made to know how much dross there is in our composition.

Life is about fulfillment. If your life isn't fulfilled, your stomach can never supply what's missing.

I want to seize fate by the throat.

Once you've put one of his [Henry James] books down, you simply can't pick it up again.

And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.
