“Fortunately the Lord is patient and understanding, and does write straight with our crooked lines.”
“The Word of God I think of as a straight edge, which shows up our own crookedness. We can't really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.”
“This is tantamount to saying, "My hand is weak. I cannot draw a straight line,—that is, a line which will be the shortest line between two given points,—and so, in order to make it more easy for myself, I, intending to draw a straight, will choose for my model a crooked line." The weaker my hand, the greater the need that my model should be perfect.”
“We write. How fortunate we are: The world does not close in on us. The world does not grow smaller.”
“A Curve does not exist in its full power until contrasted with a straight line.”
“The straight path must sometimes be crooked. ”
