“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”
C.S. Lewis

“Self-made” Man
“If any person believes, it is because God has quickened him; and if any person fails to believe, it is because God has withheld that grace which He was under no oblation to bestow. Strictly speaking there is no such thing as a “self-made” man; the highest
type of man is the one who can say with Paul, ‘By the grace of God I am what I am.'”
Loraine Boettner
No Title
“A ‘god’ who’s will is resisted, designs frustrated, and purpose checkmated, possesses no title to Deity.”
A. W. Pink
Eyeballs
“Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.”
Jonathan Edwards
Scripture
“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.”
Charles Spurgeon
Emptiness
“Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Too Little
“He loves thee too little who loves anything together with thee which he loves not for thy sake.”
Augustine
Without Interference
“All God does is to let him (the unregenerate) alone and allow him to go his own way without interference. It is his nature to be evil, and God simply has foreordained to leave that nature unchanged. The picture often painted by opponents of Calvinism, of a cruel God refusing to save those who long to be saved, is a gross caricature. God saves all who want to be saved, but no one whose nature is unchanged wants to be saved.”
F.E. Hamilton
