Quote

I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory. I preached a sermon about this. We are far too anxious to be definite and to have finished, well-polished, sharp-edged systems - forgetting that the more perfect a theory about the infinite, the surer it is to be wrong, the more impossible it is to be right.
George MacDonald

And another one which I believe I quoted before..

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keeps to gain that which he cannot lose
Jim Elliot

Fun

Hehe :P Today was fun.. And it feels wonderful to be back in church after so long!! ^_^ One day in the House of God is better than a thousand days in the world..

Grace

It is said that in all things, He works for the good of those who love Him and are called to His purposes.. But I suspect, in His grace, He still works for the good of those who do not Love Him enough.. He accepts "trust", even if it is not "with all your heart" (Prov3:5)..

Christianity is not a high minded religion at all.. Our Lord accepts our approaches from impure motives, accepts our sins, accepts our faith as mustard seed.. If we were to think that He would accept none except those who come to Him in adoration and Love, who would stand?? Surely He accepts those who come out of fear, out of the lack of choice..

Quite amazing..
