“God loves his work and therefore wills to preserve it. Creation and preservation are two aspects of the one activity of God.”
“Justification is the new creation of the new man, and sanctification his preservation until the day of Jesus Christ.”
“Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.”
“[Christ] is the Mediator, not only between God and man, but between man and man, between man and reality.”
“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”

“Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him whether the heart is full or empty.”
