“Could it be also that Pink was lacking in love and grace and mercy towards the churches and pastors of his day, in an hour when he could have shown them the truth by preaching and teaching them with a spirit of love and grace and mercy?”

“Many opponents of same-sex pseudogamy argue that the pretense that a man can marry another man will involve restrictions on the religious freedom of those who disagree. I don’t believe there’s much to dispute here. One side says that same sex-marriage will restrict religious liberty, and believes that that would be disgraceful and unjust; the other side says the same, and believes it is high time, and that the restrictions should have been laid down long ago. So when Fred Henry, the moderate liberal Catholic bishop of Edmonton, says that there is something intrinsically disordered about same-sex pseudogamous relations, he is dragged before a Canadian human rights tribunal, without anyone sensing the irony (one suspects that the leaders of George Orwell’s Oceania at least indulged in a little mordant irony when they named their center of torment the Ministry of Love). Or when the Knights of Columbus find out that a gay couple has signed a lease for their hall to celebrate their pseudo-nuptials, and the chief retracts the invitation and offers to help the couple find another acceptable hall, the Knights are dragged into court. The same with the widow who ekes out her living by baking wedding cakes. And the parents in Massachusetts who don’t want their children to be exposed to homosexual propaganda in the schools. And the Catholic adoption agency in Massachusetts that had to shut down rather than violate their morals, as the state demanded they do, placing children in pseudogamous households.”

“Despondency and despair are never excusable in the Christian, and must be steadily resisted. We need to make up our minds that if by grace we are determined to follow the example which Christ has left us, we shall have enemies—especially in the religious world—who will scruple at no misrepresentations of our motive and actions. We must learn to undervalue our reputations and be content to be regarded as "the offscourings of all things:" we must seek grace to emulate Him who "set His face like a flint:" (Isa. 50:7), who "endured the cross, despising the shame." (Heb. 12:2) Unless we cultivate His spirit we shall be at a great disadvantage, when sufferings come upon us.33”

“He is solitary in His majesty, unique in His excellency, peerless in His perfections. He sustains all, but is Himself independent of all. He gives to all, but is enriched by none. By revelation Such a God cannot be found out by searching. He can be known only as He is revealed to the heart by the Holy Spirit through the Word.”
