"Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity... True peace comes not by a retreat from the world but by the overpowering presence of Christ in the heart. "Christ in you" is the answer to our cry for peace."
—A.W. Tozer, The Next Chapter After the Last, in Christianity Today, "Reflections," Vol. 44, no. 9. - Today's Best Illustrations – Volume 5.
