Quotes 20 Jul 17

"Be as critical of yourself as you often are of others. Be as generous to others as you always are with yourself." -Alistair Begg

Consider that in thy troubles God is performing that work in which thy soul would rejoice, if thou couldst see the design of it.- John Flavel‏ @FlavelJohn

The @scotgov say they want our opinion on gender neutral toilets  - no they don't. All such 'consultations' are fake pretence at listening - David Robertson‏ @theweeflea

“There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering” (Theodore Roosevelt).

My own experience during the election tells me that people don’t mind people of faith in politics – so long as their faith is only of the cultural variety.  So, if you wear funky garb, have nice colourful festivals, have interesting buildings and ceremonies, then we are absolutely fine about your faith – in fact your religious culture makes us more diverse and allows me to define myself as very liberal and tolerant by demonstrating how cool I am with your religion.However the moment you show any signs of actually believing in this creed, of thinking that this stuff about Jesus might even be true or that this faith might in any way impact on your conscience or your life choices… well, we don’t like that one bit.  - Tim Farron https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/tim-farron-youre-meant-feel-marginalised-christian/
