Knowledge without repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell. -Thomas Watson

"The love of our neighbor is the only door out of the dungeon of self, where we mope and mow, striking sparks, and rubbing phosphorescences out of the walls, and blowing our own breath in our own nostrils, instead of issuing to the fair sunlight of God, the sweet winds of the universe." - George MacDonald

The first fateful step on the way to sin was taken when man first let himself be approached and lent his ear to what was not from God. -ChristophBlumhardt

[Some people today  would like to believe that] a God without wrath brings people without sin into a kingdom with no pain through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross. -H. Reinhold Niebuhr
