Jesus' pattern prayer, which is both crutch, road, and walking lesson for the spiritually lame like ourselves, tells us to start with God: for God matters infinitely more than we do.
J. I. Packer
Image
Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process, not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging, but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.
Gene Robinson

Desmond Tutu
Image
It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.

Satan is inconsistent. He persuades a man not to go to a synagogue on a cold morning yet when the man does go, he follows him into it.

Reginald Heber
Image
Buddhism has in it no idea of there being a moral law laid down by somekind of cosmic lawgiver.

Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.
John Henry Newman
Image
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
J. C. Ryle
Image
