As long as he's wrong I don't worry about him, and basically everyone else who was announcing in the year 2000 at midnight, the end of the world is coming, I expect them to be wrong. Now if they're right of course, I'll be very uncomfortable that night. But as long as everyone for 2000 years has been wrong about the apocalypse, I can be quite comfortable with it.

As saints our attitude towards giving is that we give for Jesus Christ's sake, and from no other motive.” GivingHeartFeelingsSpiritJesusGivenChristAttitudeJesus ChristDeterminationInstinctSakeSaintDetermineCreditImpulseFixedUncomfortableMotivePhilanthropySpirit Of GodPhilanthropicUncomfortable Feeling Book:The Quotable Oswald Chambers Source: The Quotable Oswald Chambers
