Quote by Samuel Morse

“My creed on the subject of slavery is short. Slavery per se is not sin. It is a social condition ordained from the beginning of the world for the wisest purposes, benevolent and disciplinary, by Divine Wisdom.”

Samuel Morse

Samuel Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American painter and inventor, best known for inventing the Morse code and the telegraph. Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, he graduated from Yale University and studied painting in London, becoming a noted portrait and historical painter. In the 1830s, inspired by electromagnetism, he shifted focus to telegraphy. On May 24, 1844, he successfully demonstrated the first telegraph line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, sending the message "What hath God wrought." His invention revolutionized long-distance communication, laying the foundation for modern telecommunications. Morse also contributed to the arts, co-founding the National Academy of Design. He is remembered as a pioneer of the communication age. more

“We are not only contingent beings, dependent on the love and will of a Creator whom we cannot know experientially except in so far as he reveals to us our personal relationship with him as his sons - we are also sinners who have FREELY REPUDIATED this relationship. We have rebelled against him. The spirit of rebellious refusal persists in our heart even when we try to return to him. Much could be said, at this point, about all the subtlety and ingenuity of religious egoism which is one of the worst and most ineradicable forms of self-deception. Sometimes one feels that a well-intentioned and inculpable atheist is in many ways better off - and gives more glory to God - than some people whose bigoted complacency and inhumanity to others are signs of the most obvious selfishness! Hence we not only need to recover an awareness of our creaturehood; we also must repair the injury done to truth and to love by this repudiation, this infidelity. But how? Humanly speaking, there is no way in which we can do this.”

“They may call you "Stupid" because of what you've done in the past. Hey, you are going to be "Prominent" because of what the Lord has done. The stupid "S" in Saul was exchange to become the Prominent "P" in Paul... and you ask why? It's because of what the Lord has done, Give thanks!”
