‎What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.—John Ruskin

A word to the wise isn't necessary...it's the stupid ones that need the advice. ~Bill Cosby

Sky News reporter and Clapham resident Mark Stone recorded the events (looting) on video and can be heard bravely confronting the woman and a friend in the high street. He told them: "I live here and I'm just astounded with what you are doing." The woman replied: "We're getting our taxes back." - Mirror, 9 August 2011

Repentance is not a merely intellectual change of mind or mere grief, still less doing penance, but a radical transformation of the entire person, a fundamental turnaround involving mind and action and including overtones of grief, which result in (spiritual) fruit. - D.A. Carson

The Holy Spirit is the Author of the Book that informs us of the identity of the real, historical Jesus. Scripture works hard to set forth the real Christ. The creeds are merely attempts to preserve this biblical portrait and to protect it from distortions. When a person says, “All I need to know is Jesus – doctrine isn’t important,” we should immediately ask in reply, “Who is Jesus?” The moment a person begins to answer that question; the person is inescapably involved with doctrine.- R.C. Sproul, The Spirit of Revival by Archie Parrish, Introduction, Copyright 2000, Crossway Books
