“What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends ”
“The truth is that the Man who walked among us was a demonstration, not of unveiled deity, but of perfect humanity.”
“True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.”
“To say that God is omniscient is to say that He possesses perfect knowledge and therefore has no need to learn. But it is more: it is to say that God has never learned and cannot learn.”
“Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.”
“The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.”
“We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.”
