Quotes:
“If you love the quiet retreat that you create in order to meet God, you may not love God at all but only the pointless discipline of quietness. If you love the literature of the saints more than you desire to emulate their holiness, you are too much the captive of your reading and not the servant of your Lord. If you seem to talk a lot about prayer but pray very little, you are seeking only a godly mystique and not God himself. God is never honored by our sterile fascination with him.”
- Calvin Miller
“It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men. It is not of course the only way. But for many people at many times the ‘fair beauty of the Lord’ is revealed chiefly or only while they worship Him together.”
- C.S. Lewis
“The lips know only shallow tunes. The heart is where great symphonies are born.”
- Calvin Miller
