“The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.”

“The price is certainly high for people who don’t know Christ and who live in a world where Christians shrink back from self-denying faith and settle into self-indulging faith. While Christians choose to spend their lives fulfilling the American dream instead of giving their lives to proclaiming the kingdom of God, literally billions in need of the Gospel remain in the dark”

“Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.”

“The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.”

“Tolerance is not a Christian value. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty--these are Christian values.”

“There is only one real misfortune: to forfeit one's own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it.”
