1 Peter 1:8: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Jonathan Edwards • The Religious Affections
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic . . . or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. • The Gospel
I took a medium-sized bottle of Jim Beam and drank from it under the covers while reading No Man Is an Island by Thomas Merton. Without God, we are no longer persons. We become dumb animals under pain, happy if we can behave at least like quiet animals and die without too much confusion.
Maggie Nelson • The Red Parts
Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy. Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.
Francis Chan, Danae Yankoski • Crazy Love
A true friend of man; almost the only friend of human progress. An Old Mortality, say rather an Immortality, with unwearied patience and faith making plain the image engraven in men’s bodies, the God of whom they are but defaced and leaning monuments.
Henry David Thoreau • Walden (AmazonClassics Edition)
O, what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outward side!
William Shakespeare • Measure for Measure
Jesus is in the business of reidentifying us as sons and daughters.
“And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.””
Mark 5:34 ESV
