“Just think, you're here not by chance, but by God's choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else - You are one of a kind.

“Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift of God.

“Now the Father draws us from the evil of sin to the goodness of His grace with the might of His measureless power, and He needs all the resources of His strength in order to convert sinners, more than when He was about to make heaven and earth, which He made with His own power without help from any creature.

“Since I have an aversion to movies in which people say grace at the dinner table (not to the practice but to how movies use it to establish the moral strength of a household), the opening night montage of Sunday-night supper in one home after another in Waxahachie, Texas in 1935 - a whole community saying grace made me expect the worst.” PeopleMadeWholeUseHomeNightCommunityMoralPracticeGraceWorstTablesDinnerOpeningSundayTexasHouseholdAversionSupperDinner TableSunday NightOpening NightMoral Strength Author:Pauline Kael
