“The fact is, Scripture is filled with divine actions that don't fit our human standards of logic or morality. But they don't need to, because we are the clay and He is the Potter.

“Have I then no work to work in this great matter of my pardon? None. What work canst thou work? What work of thine can buy forgiveness or make thee fit for the Divine favour? What work has God bidden thee work in order to obtain salvation? None. His Word is very plain and easy to be understood, "To him that worketh not, but believeth in Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Rom. 4:5). There is but one work by which a man can be saved. That work is not thine, but the work of the Son of God. That work is finished.” MenMatterChristianOrderEasyDivineSonFitUnderstoodSalvationFinishedSavedTheeRighteousnessFavourPardon Book:How shall I go to God?

It fits man for life--it prepares him for death.” MenYearsWellsBookPracticeRichDivineHe ManFitLawyerPity Author:Daniel Webster

“I'm used to coming up with a lot of parts. And I don't have to do that so much [with Divine Fits]. This is the kind of band I've always wanted to be in because we never set up any aesthetic rules when we started it. We just wrote and edited, and it ended up sounding like Divine Fits.” KindWantedUsedDivineFitBandAestheticEdited Author:John Britt Daniel
