Paul

“Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror; yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions. We need to offer grace to all, because we all need a little grace.”
― Jayce O'Neal

“Things might have been different, but they could not have been better. - From "Leaf by Niggle”
― JRR Tolkien

“Nay, if we should suppose, what seldom happens, that a popular religion were found, in which it was expressly declared that nothing but morality could gain the divine favor; if an order of priests were instituted to inculcate this opinion in daily sermons and with all the arts of persuasion; yet so inveterate are the people's prejudices, that, for want of some other superstition, they would make the very attendance on these sermons the essentials of religion, rather than place them in virtue and good morals.”
― David Hume
