“Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all.”

Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.

Spare the rod and spoil the child – that is true. But, beside the rod, keep an apple to give him when he has done well.

Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love receiving from above faith and giving out below love.

As long as we live there is never enough singing.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.

A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.

No man understands the Scriptures, unless he be acquainted with the Cross.

Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you.

Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!

Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people; one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.

Unthankfulness is theft.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

A simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it’s a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you’re in the NHL.

God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.

But in that backroom or whatever it is when God confronts me with my sins, I do not believe any of the kills I had during the war will be among them. Everyone I shot was evil. I had good cause on every shot. They all deserved to die.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!

We must love Christ and always seek Christ’s embraces. Then everything difficult will seem easy.

Worry is assuming responsibilities that you cannot handle. They truth is, they are responsibilities that God never intended for you to handle, because they are His.

God made me an Indian.
