Muhammad was a prince; he rallied his compatriots around him. In a few years, the Muslims conquered half of the world.

He would indeed have been a god, if the revolution that he had performed had not been prepared by the circumstances. Napoleon Bonaparte

Thus, for followers of Christ, calling neutralizes the fundamental position of choice in modern life. “I have chosen you,” Jesus said, “you have not chosen me.” We are not our own; we have been bought with a price.

Nothing works better to debunk the pretensions of choice than a conviction of calling. Once we have been called, we literally “have no choice. Os Guinness

In the legends that males have invented to explain life, the first human creature is a man named Adam. Eve arrives later, to give him pleasure and cause trouble. In the paintings that adorn churches, God is an old man with a beard, never an old woman with white hair.

Oriana Fallaci

The voice of God is heard from heaven, declaring the day and hour of Jesus' coming, and delivering the everlasting covenant to His people.
