Dry wells send us to the fountain. ~John Knox http://ow.ly/S7lI30bzJzQ
Believe Christ�s love more; than your own feeling. Your Rock doth not ebb and flow, though your sea doth. ~John Knox http://ow.ly/S7lI30bzJzQ
If Christ was not man, he could not have been a sacrifice; if Christ was not God, he could not have been a remedy. http://ow.ly/3znU30bzJzP
If Christ is in your house your neighbors will soon know it. -Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899)
(In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminster Collection of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Families")
Legislation is helpless against the wild prayer of longing that rises,
day in, day out, from all these households under my protection: 'O God,
put away justice and truth for we cannot understand them and do not want
them. Eternity would bore us dreadfully. Leave Thy heavens and come
down to our earth of waterclocks and hedges. Become our uncle. Look
after Baby, amuse Grandfather, escort Madam to the Opera, help Willy with his home-work, introduce Muriel to a handsome naval officer. Be interesting and weak like us, and we will love you as we love ourselves. - Herod, contemplating the massacre of the innocents, in "For the Time Being: A Christmas Oratorio" by W. H. Auden
