The meaning of the atonement is not to be found in our penitence evoked by the sight of Calvary, but rather in what God did when in Christ on the cross he took our place and bore our sin.- J R W Stott, The Cross of Christ

A bishop once complained to the king that the countess (Lady Huntingdon) and her ministers were making a stir in his diocese. “His Majesty offered a solution— ‘Make bishops of them—make bishops of them.’ The prelate replied: ‘That might be done, but please your Majesty, we cannot make a bishop of Lady Huntingdon.’ At that point the Queen interposed, ‘It would be a lucky circumstance if you could, for she puts you all to shame.’ - Gilbert W. Kirby, The Elect Lady (Northants, England: The Trustees of the Connexion, 1972),

Postmillenialism- The Eschatology of Hope.- Clayton B. Callaway 2

It is true, that you live in the midst of difficulties and snares, and you need a double guard of watchfulness and prayer. But since you know both your need of help and where to look for it, I may say to you, as Darius to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually is able to preserve and deliver you. Daniel likewise was a public man, and in critical circumstances. But he trusted in the Lord, was faithful in his departments, and therefore though he had enemies, they could not prevail against him.
Indeed the great point for our comfort in life, is to have a well grounded persuasion that we are where, all things considered, we ought to be. Then it is no great matter whether we are in public or in private life, in a city or a village, in a palace or a cottage. The promise, My grace is sufficient for thee, is necessary to support us in the smoothest scenes, and is equally able to support us in the most difficult. -John Newton, 21 July 1796, letter to Wliberforce

I am thermosceptic.
You are a climate cynic.
He is a luddite denialist.
