“Just supposing for the sake of the argument that there is a being of such a kind as that He may with any propriety be called "God", it does seem antecedently very improbable that weak and limited creatures of a day, such as we are, should discover Him by our own efforts.... who could be discovered in that way would hardly be worth discovering. I think we ought to stick to that principle rather firmly. I think we ought to be rather sure that we cannot know God unless God has been pleased to reveal Himself to us.” ThinkingKnowsWayShouldKindMayDoeHas BeensSeemsEffortPrinciplesOughtCreaturesArgumentWeakSticksSakeDiscoveringKnowing GodImprobableProprietySupposing Author:John Gresham Machen

“What I need first of all is not exhortation, but a gospel, not directions for saving myself but knowledge of how God has saved me. Have you any good news? That is the question that I ask of you. I know your exhortations will not help me. But if anything has been done to save me, will you not tell me the facts?” IfsKnowsNeedsFirstsHas BeensDoneFactsHelpingAsksNewsSavedSavingHelp MeGood NewsSave Me Book:The Christian faith in the modern world Source: The Christian faith in the modern world
