“Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy; He asks for that which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted.

“Merit is a work for the sake of which Christ gives rewards. But no such work is to be found, for Christ gives by promise. Just as if a prince should say to me, "Come to me in my castle, and I will give you a hundred florins." I do a work, certainly, in going to the castle, but the gift is not given me as the reward of my work in going, but because the prince promised it to me.” IfsGivingShouldFoundGivenChristPromiseHundredRewardsSakeMeritCastles Author:Martin Luther
“Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate. That is why it is a complete misinterpretation to apply to the Church the words 'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three.” KnowsSaidTwoTogetherThreeNamesLanguageChristChurchGroupsTenConversationSixHundredSevenIntimateFiftyCollectivesMidstMisinterpretationIntimate Conversation Book:Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals) Source: Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals)
“Seek for a fresh invoice of grace. Unbelief can scoff or growl; faith is the nightingale that sings in the darkest hour. Faith can draw honey out of the rock and oil out of the flint. With Christ in possession and heaven in reversion, it marches to the time of the One-hundred-and-third Psalm over the roughest road, and against the most cutting blast.” HeavenChristHoursGraceCuttingRocksDrawsHundredThirdsPossessionOilMarchHoneyBlastUnbeliefPsalmsNightingalesDarkest Hour Author:Theodore L.

“For example, in one of my last exhibitions I had a 50-foot massive painting with I think perhaps a hundred thousand hand-painted small flowers. This was the Christ painting [The Dead Christ in the Tomb, 2008] in my Down exhibition [2008]. Now, I simply can't spend eight hours a day painting small, identical flowers.

“Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.” HeartEyeTogetherTurnsChristMetsStandardsConsciousHundredUnityStrivePianoBowsFellowshipAccordForksLooking Away Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“Five hundred years before Christ was born, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus told his students that "everything changes except the law of change". He said: "You cannot step in the same river twice." The river changes every second; and so does the man who stepped in it. Life is a ceaseless change. The only certainty is today. Why mar the beauty of living today by trying to solve the problems of a future that is shrouded in ceaseless change and uncertainty-a future that no one can possibly foretell?” MenTryingYearsDoeSaidProblemTodayLawLife IsChristBornStepsFiveStudentsHundredRiversPhilosopherSolveCertaintyUncertaintyGreekMarsEvery SecondGreek Philosopher Author:Dale Carnegie
