“When the Bible was written, society was agrarian. There were no smartphones. No helicopters. “You can’t expect us to find answers for these, our postmodern times, in that glaringly pre-modern book.” But that is precisely what we should expect. The Scriptures speak to our condition, and because we are wealthy, they speak to it very directly. But we have to be prepared to listen.”

“Anything we do to hinder a dear child from coming to Jesus greatly displeases our dear Lord. He cries to us, "Stand off. Let them alone. Let them come to Me, and forbid them not.”

“Quintilian suggests literatura as the proper translation of Greek grammatike (II, i), and literatura, though it does not mean ‘literature’, included a good deal more than literacy. It included all that is required for ‘making up’ a ‘set book’: syntax, etymology, prosody, and the explanation of allusions. Isidore makes even history a department of Grammar (I, xli–xliv). He would have described the book I am now writing as a book of Grammar. Scholarship is perhaps our nearest equivalent.”

“Sanctifying faith is a grace of which the very life is action: it "worketh by love," and, like a main-spring, moves the whole inward man. (Gal. v. 6.)”
