But why is God so slow in conquering the forces of evil? Why does not God break in and smash the evil schemes of wicked men?...We are responsible human beings, not blind automatons; persons, not puppets.

The decision we must make now is whether we will give our allegiance to outmoded and unjust customs or to the ethical demands of the universe. As Christians we owe our allegiance to God and His will, rather than to man and his folkways.

The God that I serve and the God that called me to preach told me that every now and then I'll have to go to jail for them. Every now and then I'll have to agonize and suffer for the freedom of his children. I even may have to die for it. But if that's necessary, I'd rather follow the guidelines of God than to follow the guidelines of men.

There is no contending against the Will of God; but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases.

In great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong.

God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
