To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending.

The man who is truly meek is the one who is amazed that God and man can think of him as well as they do and treat him as well as they do.

whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.

The Bible does not isolate war, as if it were something separate and unique and quite apart, as we tend to do in our thinking. It is but one of the manifestations of sin, one of the consequences of sin.

I will not glory, even in my orthodoxy, for even that can be a snare if I make a god of it... Let us rejoice in Him in all His fulness and in Him alone.

Faith is the refusal to panic.
