Misc. Quotes for Wednesday, May 18, 2016

"Believing is the most wonderful thing in the world. Put anything of your own to it, and you spoil it. Christ will not esteem it believing. When you believe and come to Christ you must leave behind your own righteousness (oh, that is hard!), all your holiness, santifications, duties, tears, humblings, etc., and bring nothing but your sins, your wants and miseries, else Christ is not fit for you, nor you for Christ."
-Thomas Wilcox? (1549 - 1608)

"Whereas the chief aim of the old (gospel) was to teach people to worship God, the concern of the new (gospel) seams limited to making them feel better." - Dr. J. I. Packer (A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life, by J.I. Packer)

"It seams to many of us, that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict, we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new world order. Pat Robertson has written in a book a few years ago that we should have a world government but only when the Messiah arrives. He wrote, literally, any attempt to achieve world order before that time must be the work of the devil. Well, join me. I'm glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan." - Walter Cronkite (Source)

"You need not hope in order to undertake, and you need not succeed in order to persevere." (source: Oliver Cromwell?)
