Feelings are not evidence of God, it is our reaction to God.- Derick Dickens
In the Roman slave market, decisions regarding the slaves future rested solely in the hands of the purchaser, not the one being sold. Similarly, the Bible teaches that God has chosen His slaves by His own sovereign, independent, electing choice. In fact, He elected them to be His slaves before they were born, and even before the world was created.
~ Dr. John MacArthur "Slave"
Even in the most profound depths of adversity faith may hold us up, and, what is more, may elevate us to God.-John Calvin @JohnCalvinDaily
'The masses of the working-people of Scotland have read history, and are no revolutionary levelers. They rejoice in the memories of "Wallace and Bruce and a' the lave," who are still much revered as the former champions of freedom. And while foreigners imagine that we want the spirit only to overturn capitalists and aristocracy, we are content to respect our laws till we can change them, and hate those stupid revolutions which might sweep away time-honoured institutions, dear alike to rich and poor.’- David Livingstone's "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa."
