“God in His answers to prayer often says "Yes." Sometimes He says "Wait." Often He says "No." In any case, His will is done, and true faith is to believe that what happened has happened for the best. If one does not take that attitude, he is setting his personal desire against the wisdom of God. Oftentimes we confuse with faith merely that which we desire.” IfsBelieveDoeSometimesDoneWisdomDesireBeliefWaitingPrayerAnswersAttitudeCasesHappenedSettingSettingsAnswers To PrayerTrue FaithPersonal Desire Book:A Guide to Confident Living Source: A Guide to Confident Living
“Ever since the Reformation, the case of legislation confining Catholics had been constructed primarily to protect a nervously Protestant against what was assumed to be a fifth column in its midst... Ministers believedm with some justice, that Catholics retained an attachment to their exiled co-religionists, the princes of the House of Stuart. After the Battle of Culloden had confirmed Jacobitism's insignificance, however, government attitudes towards Catholicism began perceptibly and logically to relax.” GovernmentHouseJusticeAttitudeCasesBattleProtectCatholicMinistersRelaxMidstAttachmentCatholicismLegislationFifthColumnsReformationProtestantsBritish HistoryInsignificance Author:Linda Colley

“Obama's attitude toward the rule of law is apparent in the words he used to describe what he is looking for in a nominee to replace Justice David Souter. He wants 'someone who understands justice is not just about some abstract legal theory,' he said, but someone who has 'empathy.' In other words, judges should decide cases so that the right people win, not according to the rule of law.” PeopleWantShouldSaidLawUsedWinningJusticeAttitudeCasesJudgingTheoryEmpathyAbstractRule Of Law Author:Michael Barone

“If this "critical openminded attitude" ... is wanted, the question at once arises, Is it science that should be studied in order to achieve it? Why not study law? A judge has to do everything that a scientist is exhorted to do in the way of withholding judgment until all the facts are in, and then judging impartially on the merits of the case as well as he can. ... Why not a course in Sherlock Holmes? The detectives, or at least the detective-story writers, join with the scientists in excoriating "dogmatic prejudice, lying, falsification of facts, and data, and willful fallacious reasoning."” IfsWayShouldWellsFactsStoriesWantedLawScienceLyingOrderCoursesAttitudeCasesStudyAchieveJudgingJudgmentScientistPrejudiceCriticalAriseDataMeritReasoningWhy NotDetectivesHolmesDogmaticWithholdingDetective StoriesStory WritersFalsification Author:Anthony Standen

“It's clearly the case that there's not some moment in American history when every evangelical is holding hands with every Catholic who is holding hands with every mainline Methodist, or what have you. Obviously, American Christianity was deeply divided in all kinds of ways at mid-century too. But there was a kind of convergence going on. Even though Reinhold Niebuhr, the great mainline Protestant theologian, didn't think highly of Billy Graham, he and Graham still, clearly, had more in common, both theologically and in their attitudes toward religion in public life.” ThinkingWayKindStillsMomentsHandsCommonAttitudeChristianityCasesCenturyCatholicAll KindsDividedAmerican HistoryTheologianPublic LifeProtestantsEvangelicalHolding HandsMethodistsConvergence Author:Ross Douthat
