The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.

Our judgements of good and evil ... presuppose God as the standard. If there's no God, there's neither good nor evil. There's just nature doing what it does

A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.

There are relatively few atheists among neurologists and brain surgeons and astrophysicists, but many among psychologists, sociologists, and historians. The reason seems obvious: the first study divine design, the second study human undesign.

No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.

If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
