Nicholas Berdyaev
"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
Jacob A. Riis
"I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God is the only explanation for the miracle of existence and why there is something instead of nothing."
- Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy)
"It seems to me that when confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why - and not just how. The only possible answers are found in God."

"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lake-side, He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same word: "Follow thou me!" and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfil for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal Himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience Who He is."
Albert Schweitzer
"Salvation costs nothing. Discipleship costs everything."

Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul. -Mark Twain
Grace is free, but it ain't cheap!
Mickey Efird
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of confusion or despair, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing... not curing... that is a friend indeed." --Henri Nouwen
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own." - Benjamin Disraeli
"To hear God call us awes us. To consider facing such an experience without trembling knees is unthinkable. The biblical record affirms that God knows us & calls us by name. We are not strangers or aliens. To remember who creates & recreates, who loves us unconditionally is to be prepared, as Jesus was, for all that is to come. Listen & remember today that God calls your name & be transformed & sustained in all that awaits you." - Reuben Job
"It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that bother me; it's the parts I do understand."
Mark Twain
He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.
- C.S. Lewis
Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.
-- G. K. Chesterton".
