- William Plumer​

[nChrist]

"The Gospel of God's grace in Christ Jesus is not a thing to be proved, but truth to be believed. It is not submitted to our reasoning powers as a subject for critical examination. The gospel is a MESSAGE FROM GOD, addressed to the conscience, feelings, and affections. For this reason, men fond of argument and proving everything by strictly logical deduction generally make very poor preachers. In the Scriptures, God does not argue, He proclaims!"

- J.C. Philpot​

 

[nChrist]

"He wishes to give who advises us to ask."

- Augustine​

 

[nChrist]

"Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God."

- Phillips Brooks​

 

[nChrist]

"God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible-- what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves."

[nChrist]

"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it."

- William James​

 

[nChrist]

"God help this nation if it be drifting to secularism! Our people may be made giants in intellect; but severed from the religious element, divorced from religious training, the chances are they may become demons in depravity! Where, moreover, are remedy and panacea to be found for the anguished heart in its time of sorrow? Philosophy and science, noble factors as they are, can never heal the wounds of humanity, erase the furrows from the woe-worn brow, or light up the shadows of the final valley. They can never curb the madness of the nations, subjugate the demon of war, and "ring in the thousand years of peace." Remove the Bible from school and university, and in that saddest of battles, the struggle of conflicting principles, where the godless and Christless creed is the triumphant one, there can be nothing but the death-knell.

- John MacDuff 1895​

 

[davedajobauk]

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

From The Paradoxical Commandments,
by Dr. Kent M. Keith. Mother Teresa quoted this often.

- C.S. Lewis​

 

[nChrist]

"Man seems to know, in his inmost nature, that he must bring a sacrifice if he would appear before God; and this is, by no means, an error on his part. However erroneous may be the form it takes, in its essence there is truth in it."

- C.H. Spurgeon​
