The mysteries of faith are degraded if they are made into an object of affirmation and negation, when in reality they should be an object of contemplation.
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
We are now assuming that we have here the centre and goal of all God's works, and therefore the hidden beginning of them all. We are also assuming that the prominent place occupied by this divine work has something corresponding to it in the essence of God, that the Son forms the centre of the Trinity, and that the essence of the divine being has, so to speak, its locus. . . in His work, in the name and person of Jesus Christ.

To be a Christian and to pray are one and the same thing; it is a matter that cannot be left to our caprice. It is a need, a kind of breathing necessary to life.
Belief cannot argue with unbelief, it can only preach to it.
The gospel is not a truth among other truths. Rather, it sets a question mark against all truths.

Microsoft has gotten so big that it can put out a Preview that will install itself without checking first to see if it has expired. The message here is that Microsoft's time is worth more than yours. . . . no start-up company could get away with being that arrogant.
God be thanked when the Law so works as to take off the sinner from all confidence in himself!

This is the whole end of the Law toward men whom God will save.
I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don't think they know what they're doing. When you see who wins those things-or who doesn't win them-you can see how meaningless this Oscar thing is.
