Paul

“when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, #2)

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
― Albert Einstein

“For all of us, there is an internal bewildering that builds over time when we neglect private communion with God. Who we are and who God is both fade. It is in withdrawal from everything and everyone to be with God that we re-center. It is when we are alone with him that there is least chance for playing games, wearing a mask, hiding our sins, covering our anxieties. It is then that we can most fully open our hearts up to God.”
― Dane C. Ortlund, Edwards on the Christian Life: Alive to the Beauty of God

“Humility is the product of ongoing repentance as one decides against, turns from, and by watching and praying seeks to steer clear of pride in all its forms. And as the battle against pride in the heart is lifelong, so humility should become an ever more deeply seated attitude of living at the disposal of God and others—an attitude that veteran Christians should increasingly display. Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.”
― J.I. Packer, Finishing Our Course with Joy: Guidance from God for Engaging with Our Aging
