"Be not drawn away from 'the simplicity that is in Christ'. Faith gets the most, love works the most, humility keeps the most. God's vision comes to humble men. He who seeks to make footprints and do sublime things is a failure. A self-conscious poser is a loser. Let self intrude and the whole is spoiled. Excellency is proportioned to the oblivion of self." — Frank Bartleman
"'The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.' Rather than being excluded from scientific inquiry, the Bible should be foundational to it. Human investigation of the creation and all within it, though fallible, can proceed with confidence as long as it is undergirded by the infallible word of the Creator."
"Jesus Christ did not say, 'Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right." — C.S. Lewis.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." — Martin Luther King Jr.
"The evidence of history is explicit to the point, that numerous well regulated governments have lost their liberties with everything which mankind hold dear, by means of a single unprincipled, ambitious individual. Through the agency of intrigue or direct usurpation, they have thus in a day exchanged the brightest national prospects for the chains of unqualified slavery." — Joseph Strong, in a sermon given to the legislature of the state of Connecticut, May 13 A.D. 1802.
"Hypocrisy is the homage which vice pays to virtue." — Francois, duc de La Rochefoucauld, moralist (1613-1680)
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT's relativity." — Albert Einstein
"It is the irreducible obligation of all men in all departments of life to bring the whole of life into subservience to the totality of God's revealed will." — John Murray
February 28, 1781 - Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, literally gave everything for the cause of the American Revolution. He died bankrupt on this date at the age of 51, after having his farm pillaged, his library - one of the best in the country - burned, and his health lost from spending a year in a British prison.
In his will, Stockton wrote, "As my children...may be peculiarly impressed with the last words of their father, I think proper here, not only to subscribe to the entire belief of the Christian religion...but also in the heart of a father's affection, to exhort them to remember that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom'."
"'Is it I'? The question is so full of uncertainty that it might be funny if it weren't so pathetic, so human. After all, how could someone not know whether he is guilty or innocent? The answer may be that each of the disciples recognized that he had, in some way, already betrayed Jesus." — Alan Dowd, "ByFaithOnline" e-magazine article
