“There are other forms of service which equally deserve the job description ‘Christian ministry’. For example, the calling of many girls to be wife, mother and home-maker is in the fullest sense ‘Christian ministry’, since she is serving Christ, her family and the community.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.3”
