“Life to me is the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don’t matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.”

“First, there is the great question: Can God forgive someone like me? Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear, Me, the chief of sinners, spare? Second, there is the admission of guilt: I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. Then there is hope found in the gospel: There for me the Savior stands, shows His wounds and spreads His hands God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, but loves me still! Finally, there is a new commitment to the Lord: Now incline me to repent, Let me now my sins lament, Now my foul revolt deplore, Weep, believe, and sin no more.”
