“A good orator can whip a crowd, even a Christian crowd, into a frenzy. This is not the kind of emotion that God desires. When emotion is a response to truth or to a clear comprehension of the nature of God and His goodness to us, then emotion is valuable and appropriate.”

“The Scriptures have nothing against a love for one’s homeland, but some refer to Christian America as if the history of this country were a continuation of the story of salvation.

No country today, including the United States, can be God’s New Israel.”

When a woman says she is a housewife she should say it with the utmost pride, for there is nothing higher on this planet to which she could aspire.”
