Quotes Sep 22

Nothing is too small that God that does not care. Nothing is too big that He cannot handle.- Steven Lawson@DrStevenJLawson

The pain of loneliness arises from the constitution
of our nature.  God made us for each other.  The
desire for human companionship is completely natural
and right.  The loneliness of the Christian results
from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk
that must often take him away from the fellowship
of good Christians as well as from that of the
unregenerate world.
His God-given instincts cry out for companionship
with others of his kind, others who can understand
his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the
love of Christ; and because within his circle of
friends there are so few who share his inner
experiences, he is forced to walk alone.
The unsatisfied longings of the prophets for human
understanding caused them to cry out in their complaint,
and even our Lord Himself suffered in the same way.

--A. W. Tozer (1897-1963)

      "The Saint Must Walk Alone"

It is not possible to have  reasonable grounds  for not believing in miracles. - Blaise Pascal

The believers in miracles accept them (rightly or wrongly)  because they have a evidence for them. The disbelievers in miracles deny them (rightly or wrongly) because they have a doctrine against them. - - GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Post-modernism is a denial of the fixity of the past, apart from what the historian chooses to make fit, and thus of any objective truth about the past. Postmodernist history recognises no reality principle, only the pleasure principle - history at the pleasure of the historian. - Gertrude Himmelfarb, The Spectator, 31 January 2009 P 29
