Quote of the Week

"If you want to know who God is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what it means to be human, look at Jesus. If you want to know what love is, look at Jesus. If you want to know what grief is, look at Jesus. And go on looking until you’re not just a spectator, but you’re actually part of the drama which has him as the central character."

- N. T. Wright

Quote of the Week

"The essence of Christ’s peace lies in his perfect knowledge of the Father. So it is with us: if we know the Eternal Truth all the torments of this life will be confined, as it were, to the periphery of our being, while the light of life proceeding from the Father will reign within us."

- Sophrony Sakharov

Quote of the Week

"The truly wise talk little about [religious debates in Christianity] and are not given to taking sides on doctrinal issues. When they hear people advocating or opposing the claims of this or that party in the church, they turn away with a smile such as men yield to the talk of children. They have no time, they would say, for that kind of thing. They have enough to do in trying to faithfully practice what is beyond dispute."

- George MacDonald

Quote of the Week

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.”

- A. W. Tozer

Quote of the Week

Don't let yourself forget that God's grace rewards not only those who never slip, but also those who bend and fall. So sing! The song of rejoicing softens hard hearts. It makes tears of godly sorrow flow from them. Singing summons the Holy Spirit. Happy praises offered in simplicity and love lead the faithful to complete harmony, without discord. Don't stop singing.

- Hildegard of Bingen

Quote of the Week

“The point of course is to be a great saint, to love greatly, rightly, and with passion, until we burn ourselves up in service to God and to others. Our wholeness, our integrity, depends on the health of our friendship with God. It was he who fashioned us from the dust. It was he who breathed his life into our bodies. So when we ignore God’s Word, we violate our own identity.”

- Archbishop Charles Chaput

Quote of the Week

“Even if, in order to correct sins or to preserve love, we are directed to do something which seems a little stringent, we shouldn’t immediately fly away in dismay from the way of salvation, because that way is ‘the narrow road,’ and cannot but be narrow. But as we advance in the Christian life and faith, we shall run the way of God’s commandments with expanded hearts and unspeakable sweetness of love.”

- Benedict of Nursia

Quote of the Week

"To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising 

against the disorder of the world."

- Karl Barth

Quote of the Week

"Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little in comparison to eternal realities."

- Robert Murray M'Cheyne

Quote of the Week

“With Christians, a poetical view of things is a duty. We are bid to color all things with hues of faith, to see a divine meaning in every event.”

- John Henry Newman

Quote of the Week

“The mere fact that a belief is unpopular at present (or at some other time) is interesting from a sociological point of view but evidentially irrelevant.”

- Alvin Plantinga, notable Christian philosopher

Quote of the Week

"The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer."

- F. B. Meyer

Quote of the Week

“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”

- Seneca, 1st-century Roman Stoic philosopher

Quote of the Week

"A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative,’ is asking you not to believe him. So don’t.”

- Roger Scruton

Quote of the Week

"The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love."

- Julian of Norwich

Quote of the Week

"Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things."

- G. K. Chesterton

Quote of the Week

"As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else."

- John Donne

Quote of the Week

"There are two things we cannot do alone. 

One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian."

- Paul Tournier

Quote of the Week

"The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way."

- Brother Lawrence

Quote of the Week

"Anything God has ever done, he can do now. Anything God has ever done anywhere, he can do here. Anything God has ever done for anyone, he can do for you."

- A. W. Tozer
