Works of Providence
“We believe the Scriptures to teach, not only that God originated the whole universe, but that He bears a perpetual, active relation to it; and that these works of providence are ‘His most holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing all His creatures and their actions.'”
R.L. Dabney
God Cares
“An important part of our faith as Christians is that God cares for us, and that the detail and direction of our lives are under the purposeful control of God. We draw comfort from the fact that nothing is too small to escape the attention of God, nor too minute for him to bother about. We draw inspiration from the fact that God has the power to make difficulties disappear.”
Paul Helm
Walk with God
“Walk with God and you cannot mistake the road; you have infallible wisdom to direct you, permanent love to comfort you, and eternal power to defend you.”
Charles Spurgeon

John Calvin
