Do you love to be loved or do you love because you are loved? - Tim Keller Wisdom @DailyKeller
A theologian who undervalues Logic, as being little necessary to him, simply disarms himself. This was by no means the practice of our older theologians. They always emphasized most strongly the study of formal logic, together with its related arts.- Abraham Kuyper

Paul writes to the Phillipian church from prison, but what is amazing is the joy he expresses and encourages the Phillipians to express while still in prison. We see this in Phil.1:4, 5, 18, 25 and 26. Paul says in vs 25 in vs 26 "And being confident of this I know that I shall remain and continue with you for all your progress and joy of faith, 26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again." May we never allow the enemy to steal our joy. Our joy must not be a function of what we have or don't have, but despite our circumstances, know that our joy comes from our Lord.- Wayne Thring

Thou are preparing joy for me and me for joy;
I pray for joy, wait for joy, long for joy;
Give me more than I can hold, desire, or think of.
Measure out to me my times and degrees of joy,
at my work, business, duties.
If I weep at night, give me joy in the morning.
Let me rest in the thought of thy love,
pardon for sin, my title to heaven,
my future unspotted state. - A Bennett, Valley of Vision)
A Lottery is a Taxation,
Upon all the Fools in Creation;
And Heav’n be praised,
It is easily raised,
Credulity’s always in Fashion:
For, Folly’s a Fund,
Will Never Lose Ground,
While Fools are so rife in the Nation.
Henry Fielding, "The Lottery", 1731
A good upbringing means not that you won't spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won't notice it when someone else does.- Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, 1860 - 1904
It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place, ... It's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood.- David Hume, 1711 - 1776
He who distributes the milk of human kindness cannot help but spill a little on himself.- James Matthew Barrie, 1860 - 1937
