Top Highlights
“There is great comfort in the realisation that our Lord calls all types of men and women, that he calls us in different ways, and that, indeed, it does not matter very much who we are nor what we are. What matters is who he is, and what he is, and what he can make of us.” (Page 9)
“Now I am emphasising this simply to ask a question: In your Christian life is that in your consciousness? Do you realise that? What is your Christianity? Is it just a number of propositions that you hold, or a number of things that you do, or is there this relationship, this intimate relationship, with a person, this consciousness that you are ever under his eye, and that all things that you do and think and even imagine are all known to him? This is absolutely vital if we are to know the real blessings of the Christian life.” (Pages 17–18)
“I shall not entertain you with a discussion about miracles, and about whether we can reconcile miracles with scientific knowledge. That is how people often handle these matters and they miss the glory. While they argue cleverly about miracles they miss the Christ, and they miss the blessing. Knowing nothing about abundant life, in spite of all their cleverness, they go back to a life of sin and failure.” (Page 11)
“What is a miracle? Well, it is when everything happens more quickly; it is the whole process speeded up. God, who has normally been acting through the laws which he has put into nature, suddenly acts independently of them and works directly instead of indirectly. In a miracle of healing, for example, the end result is the same healing. The difference lies in the way it has taken place.” (Pages 12–13)
