The Gaze of the Soul

“Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.” (p89)

“Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God.” (p90)

“It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us.” (p94)

“But at the bottom of all these things (private prayer, Bible meditation, service, work and activity), giving meaning to them, will be the inward habit of beholding God.” (p96)

“Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier.” (p97)
