“I think men of science as well as other men need to learn from Christ, and I think Christians whose minds are scientific are bound to study science that their view of the glory of God may be as extensive as their being is capable.

“Is there no reconciliation of some ancient quarrel, no payment of some long outstanding debt, no courtesy or love or honor to be rendered to those to whom it has long been due; no charitable, humble, kind, useful deed, by which you can promote the glory of God, or good-will among men, or peace upon earth? If there be any such, I beseech you, in God's name, in Christ's name, go and do it.” IfsMenKindLongEarthNamesChristDutyHonorGloryAncientDeedsHumbleDebtDuesQuarrelsCourtesyReconciliationPaymentGood WillOutstandingGlory Of GodCharitable Author:Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
“It is the grandeur of Christ's character which constitutes the chief power of His ministry, not His miracles or teachings apart from His character.

“The ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.” MenSelfChristDifferencesGraceSeeingGloryUltimateDelightSupremeTreasureRelateSufficientDependentGlory Of GodGod's GraceSelf SufficientResourceful Author:John Piper
“A saving knowledge of Christ crucified and risen is not the mere result of right reasoning about historical facts.
