Trusting In Advance

"I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse."

- Philip Yancey 

Let Them Fall

"Sometimes it's better to let them fall, and then pick them up."

- A quote from Sometimes Love Lets You Fall by fellow-bloger Melinda on her blog Thinking Out Loud on Purpose

God's Existance

"Albert Einstein is reported to have said that in the form of a mathematical equation all the human brainpower combined is insufficient to comprehend the universe.

Because we cannot disprove what we cannot fully comprehend, we have to leave open the possibility of God’s existence.

The post-modern, perhaps post Christian, society we live in today, argues that truth is relative. But in reality, a believer cannot decide God into existence any more than a non-believer can decide God out of existence.

God exists, or does not exist, despite what we choose to believe. Relativism when it comes to God is . . . unscientific."

- An excerpt from Alt-Mariendorf on the blog Bullets and Butterflies

Faith in the Small Things

"Faithfulness in small things is how God grows something of lasting importance."

- Lambert Dolphin

The Pages Are Blank

"The year begins; and all its pages are as blank… Let us begin it with high resolution; then let us take all its limitations, all its hindrances, its disappointments, its narrow and common-place conditions, and meet them as the Master did in Nazareth, with patience, with obedience, putting ourselves in cheerful subjection, serving our apprenticeship. Who knows what opportunity may come to us this year? Let us live in a great spirit, then we shall be ready for a great occasion."

- George Hodges
