“The Christian life is a life of non-conformity.”- R. C. Sproul (1939–2017)
“God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.”
― C.S. Lewis
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. -Thomas Jefferson
“Ignorance of providence is the ultimate of all miseries; the highest blessedness lies in the knowledge of it.” - John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
“Men cannot abide with God in spiritual meditations. He loses soul’s company by their want of this insight into his love. They fix their thoughts only on his terrible majesty, severity, and greatness; and so their spirits are not endeared. Would a soul continually eye his everlasting tenderness and compassion, his thoughts of kindness that have been from of old, his present gracious acceptance, it could not bear an hour's absence from him; whereas now, perhaps, it cannot watch with him one hour. Let, then, this be the saints first notion of the Father, – as one full of eternal, free love towards them:”John Owen, The Glory of Christ(P32).
