Theology

“Everything hinges on the Christ of the cross. The fact of the cross is the axiom of theological thought. It is impossible to think about the gospel if we have the slightest hesitation on this point. We must determine to carry this theme throughout all the problems of theology without exception... The essence of God can be comprehended only from the 'word of the cross.”
― Kazoh Kitamori, Theology of the Pain of God: The First Original Theology From Japan

“The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world and make him holy, then put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it.”
― Leonard Ravenhill

“It is not enough to hear a sermon, but you must eat it down, take in what it commands, and then it will purge your heart...Take the word and digest it, squeeze the juice of it into thy heart, and it will purge thee from all contrary corruption.”
― Thomas Goodwin, Modern King James Version of the Holy Bible

“The most thankful person is the most fully human.”
― Thomas Goodwin, What Happens When I Pray
