“Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy. If we understand the difference, we can avoid the pitfalls that entice the believer.”
― R.C. Sproul, Five Things Every Christian Needs to Grow

“Our interest in the will of God tends to spring more from curiosity or fear than devotion to Him. We think it would be helpful to get a glimpse of our lives five years from now. We certainly don’t want to make a mistake that could cause us grief. “Lord, a little guidance, please?” But this preoccupation with the future, more than the will of God, may hurt us more than help us. Perhaps we will find deepest satisfaction not in second-guessing the future but living fully in this moment, this day. As we live in His presence, we live in His will.”
― David Timms, Living the Lord's Prayer

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith.”
