William Faulkner
“You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”
William Faulkner

“This prophecy against Eli emphasizes that you can end up in grave sin by thinking it very important to be nice to people. How easy it is to practice a gutless compassion that never wants to offend anyone, that equates niceness with love and thereby ignores God's law and essentially despises his holiness. We do not necessarily seek God's honor when we spare human feelings.”
Dale Ralph Davis, Davis's Commentaries on Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel

“the most vivid and arresting element of the portrait, is the way the Holy Son of God moves toward, touches, heals, embraces, and forgives those who least deserve it yet truly desire it.”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

“Thomas Goodwin said, “Christ is love covered over in flesh.”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

“If my wife isn’t someday canonized, it will only be because Martin Luther took all the fun out of our brand of Christianity.”
Robert Kroese, The Force is Middling in this One: And Other Ruminations from the Outskirts of the Empire
