For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool.

But a religion true to its nature must also be concerned about man's social conditions. Religion deals with both earth and heaven, both time and eternity. Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself.

If one is truly devoted to the religion of Jesus he will seek to rid the earth of social evils. The gospel is social as well as personal.

Religions are different roads converging on the same point.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

Religions are not for separating men from one another, they are meant to bind them.
