Does the free secularised star exist on the basis of normative presuppositions that it itself cannot guarantee? - Ernste Bockenforde, 1967 quoted in - Douglas Murray, The Strange Death of Europe, p 260
"Passivity, which quietists think liberates the Spirit, actually resists and quenches him. Souls that cultivate passivity do not thrive, but waste away. The Christian’s motto should not be ‘Let go and let God’ but ‘Trust God and get going!’ " J I Packer
Trial for the Christian is like training for the athlete. It hurts but has purpose. It prepares you for glory.- @GPeacock8
"The true Christian hates sin, flees from it, fights against it, considers it his greatest plague, resents the burden of its presence, mourns when he falls under its influence, and longs to be completely delivered from it."~J.C. Ryle
Every man of action has a strong dose of egotism,
pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things
will be forgiven him, indeed, they will be regarded
as high qualities, if he can make of them the means
to achieve great ends. -Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970)
