We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God, because they must seem small to Him who sitteth on the circle of the earth.

It hath a delicacy... unknown in any handling of material substance.

Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom.

They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.

R. C. Sproul

The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.

R. C. Sproul

For the soul of a person to be inflamed with passion for the living God, that person's mind must first be informed about the character and will of God.

All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Tormented by conflicting feelings, I appealed to reason ; and it is reason which, amid so many dogmatic contradictions, now forces the hypothesis upon me.

Nelson Mandela

Our efforts to counter hatred, intolerance, and indifference must continue simultaneously at individual and structural levels.

Only then will we have a chance to negate the terrible consequences of the tremendous conflicts facing humankind today.
