Soren Kierkegaard
The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.
Soren Kierkegaard
Worship isn't God's show. God is the audience. God's watching. The congregation, they are the actors in this drama. Worship is their show. And the minister is just reminding the people of their forgotten lines.
Soren Kierkegaard
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.
Soren Kierkegaard
If you think you understand, it isn't God.
Soren Kierkegaard
The minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion.
Soren Kierkegaard
