"it's always a bull market when you invest in the the kingdom of Jesus" RC Sproul

“God is never frustrated, never retreats, never has to regroup and reconsider. He never has too little to work with. His word is always moving forward, whatever the human response.” Leithart

Jesus received the kingdom Daniel saw.

“It would not perhaps be altogether surprising if, in this nominally Christian country, where the Creeds are daily recited, there were a number of people who knew all about Christian doctrine and disliked it. It is more startling to discover how many people there are who heartily dislike and despise Christianity without having the faintest notion what it is.” Dorothy Sayers

"the abandonment of the Church is always fatal" -- John Calvin

"The Bible is our Magna Carta for Heaven; shall we be ignorant of our charter?" Thomas Watson

“Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth: this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert—himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt—the Divine Reason.” (Chesterton, Orthodoxy)

“The soul trembles as the needle in the compass, and is never at rest until it comes to God.” (Thomas Watson)

"the Bible refuses to tell you, in plain, simple words, what it is about. If you look for such capsule comment, you are bound to be mightily disappointed: Scripture, approached that way, seems only a potpourri of history, myth, poetry, prophecy, and commentary. Second, when it finally does consent to tell you, it insists on using a profusion of images, types, and figures to do the job, which leaves almost as many unsatisfied customers as does its refusal to speak plainly. To be sure, it has a theme, and it is articulated by a logic of the most rigorous sort. But the logic is the logic of images and is unavailable to the literal-minded." Robert Capon

"One of the benefits of theology is that if you ever get anything right on the subject of God, you immediately get a bonus and start getting things right about the world." Robert Capon

you were meant to contemplate God, Subdue the World, and Worship Your Creator.

"Man is a hungry being. But he is hungry for God. Behind all the hunger of our life is God. All desire is finally a desire for him."
