"As men sow in this seed time they shall reap in that harvest." - Ralph Venning, The Sinfulness of Sin

"Maybe the prophets wanted the rich to invite the poor into their homes, maybe they wanted the poor to be befriended and supported by gentle arms of friends. Maybe friendliness. But at least justice, at least the rights of the poor respected." - Dr. Lewis Smedes (1921-2002)
"To the question, 'should one preach doctrine?' the Puritan answer would have been, 'Why? What else is there to preach?' Puritan preachers were not afraid to bring the profoundest theology into the pulpit if it bore on their hearers salvation...doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrite; but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep. The preacher's job is to proclaim the faith, not to provide entertainment for unbelievers. In other words, to feed the sheep and not amuse the goats." - Dr. J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness: A Puritan View of the Christian Life

and ask yourselves, 'What am I doing?' You will be dead long before

"I preach as never sure to preach again, as a dying man to dying men." - Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
"People like Derek ... can be lots of fun. Except when you pop their bubble about their unrealistic grandiosity and their irresponsibility. Then you become a "wet blanket." It's revealing to talk to the "wet blanket" who is married to a practicing child. No job is more tiring." Boundaries, by Cloud & Townsend
"Boundaries are a "litmus test" for the quality of our relationships...So what does Debbie, whose husband is an avowed "boundary buster," do? Will her husband carry out his threat to walk out on her? He might. We can't control the other person. But if the only thing keeping Debbie's husband at home is her total compliance, is this a marriage at all?" Boundaries, by Cloud & Townsend
"95% of hurt feelings are strategy on the hurtees part." - Dr. Wayne Dyer, Pulling Your Own Strings
