Christian salvation consists in works. To be saved is to be made holy. To be saved requires our being made part of a people separated from the world so that we can be united in spite of - or perhaps better, because of - the world's fragmentation and divisions.

The reason why men do not look to the Church today is that she has destroyed her own influence by compromise.

The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world, and make that man holy and put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.

God never alters the robe of righteousness to fit the man. Rather He alters the man to fit the robe.

Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.

It is not the business of the church to adapt Christ to men, but men to Christ.

There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted.

As a man thinketh, so is he, and as a man chooseth, so is he.

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind.

It is absurd to think that a man can believe in Christ, with his heart, and it not have a radical affect on the rest of his life.

Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structures is an idealist illusion, as though man were only a soul and not a body as well.
