Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.

It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

the bible gives me a deep comforting sense that (things seen are temporal,and things unseen are eternal.

Ideas without action are worthless.

I'm not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
