Nearly all
men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him
power.
Abraham
Lincoln
I know not
with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought
with sticks
and stones.
Albert
Einstein
I never
dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.
Robert

No man is

The Church
once confessed its sins, now it confesses its rights
Keith
Green
Again we
sense you may say that no temptation is ever overcome until we stop trying to
overcome
it, - throw up the sponge. But then you
could not “stop trying” in the right way
for the
right reason until you had tried your very hardest. And, in yet another sense,
handing
everything over to Christ does not, of course, mean that you stop trying. To
trust him
means of course trying to do all that he says.
There would be no sense in saying
you trusted
a person if you would not take his advice.
Thus if you have really handed
yourself
over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new
way, a less
worried way. Not doing these things in
order to be saved, but because He
has begun
to save you already. Not hoping to get
to heaven as a reward for you actions,
but
inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of
Heaven is
already in
you.
C.
S. Lewis.
There is no
pit so deep that He is not deeper still
Corrie
ten Boom
There is
nothing you can do to make God love you less and there is nothing you can do to
make God
love you more, and that, is Grace.
Philip
Yancey (misquoted i think)
Everyone
thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Leo
Tolstoy
Worship at
its best is a social experience with people of all levels of life coming
together to
realize
their oneness and unity under God. Whenever the church, consciously or
unconsciously,
caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the 'whosoever will, let
him
come'
doctrine and is in danger of becoming little more than a social club with a
thin veneer
of
religiosity.
Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Its all a
chancy, and jumbled affair as things seem to be under the stars.
Annie
Dillard
A good
person is someone who hasn't been caught.

She showed
up with her suitcase, ten dollars, and a sad expression.

Mr.
Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I
have ever heard.
At no point
in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that
could
be
considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having
listened to
it. I award
you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
