The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.

C. S. Lewis
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. A belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake. -- Martin Luther

The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Augustine
The vigour of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.
George Mueller
The Bible without the Holy Spirit is like a sundial by moonlight.

You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
Anne Lamott
He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
Douglas Adams

What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good?' Have they never been to a dentist?
C.S.Lewis
When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.
C.S.Lewis
The bad part of it, especially for me, lies in the fact that science of all things seems to demand the existence of God...
Sigmund Freud, letters

We do need to guard against making absolutes out of personal standards that are not specified in Scripture, or assuming that others are sinning if they don’t adopt our standards about issues that may not be traps for them. But why are we so prone to defend choices that take us right to the edge of sin, and so reluctant to make radical choices to protect our hearts and minds from sin?

If Christians spend as much time praying as they do grumbling, they would soon have nothing to grumble about.

The real issue in the creation/evolution debate is not the existence of God. The real issue is the nature of God. To think of evolution as basically atheistic is to misunderstand the uniqueness of evolution. Evolution was not designed as a general attack against theism. It was designed as a specific attack against the God of the Bible, and the God of the Bible is clearly revealed through the doctrine of creation. Obviously, if a person is an atheist, it would be normal for him to also be an evolutionist. But evolution is as comfortable with theism as it is with atheism. An evolutionist is perfectly free to choose any god he wishes, as long as it is not the God of the Bible. The gods allowed by evolution are private, subjective, and artificial. They bother no one and make no absolute ethical demands. However, the God of the Bible is the Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Judge. All are responsible to Him. He has an agenda that conflicts with that of the sinful humans. For man to be created in the image of God is very awesome. For God to be created in the image of man is very comfortable.

No two Christians will ever meet for the last time.

Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.

If I did not believe in God, I should still want my doctor, my lawyer and my banker to do so.

A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness.

A passage for Sunday

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
