He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.

Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.

This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

I'm a holy man minus the holiness.

When a mute man sins, it's not with his tongue. When a blind man sins, it's not with his eyes. When a lame man sins, it's not with his legs. Rarely does a completely paralysed man sins; especially, one who is 'Born again'_ he may be tempted, but since he is no more in control of his body he can't. As Christians, our whole bodies are surrendered to Christ which His Spirit in-dwells _ we are no more in control of our bodies_ the Holy Spirit is. Therefore, we have no excuse for our each sin.

All people desire what they believe will make them happy. If a person is not full of desire for God, we can only conclude that he is engaged with another happiness.
