Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory. --Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) _John Ploughman's Talk_ [1880]
‘If we wish to take care of ourselves properly, we would have to respect ourselves – but we don’t, because we are – not least in our own eyes – fallen creatures. It we lived in Truth; if we spoke the Truth – then we could walk with God once again, and respect ourselves, and others, and the world. We might strive to set the world straight. We might orient it towards Heaven, where we would want people we cared for to dwell, instead of Hell, where our resentment and hatred would eternally sentence everyone.’- Jordan Bernt Peterson 12 Rules for Life
Evangelicalism is the swimming baths. Most noise is at the shallow end. - John Blanchard.
But sincerity if I knew what sincerity meant. - Samuel Rutherford letter 281
The more we understand God’s sovereignty, the more our prayers will be filled with thanksgiving.
—R.C. Sproul
