“To approximate this spectacle (Christ’s death on the cross) to the analogy of our human experience is to disclose a state of mind and feeling insensitive to the alphabet of Christianity. Here we are the spectators of a wonder the praise and glory of which eternity will not exhaust.”

Great so far. Defense of Believer’s Baptism.

Very dense, but a great philosophical and apologetic book on the Christian faith

“Confessional orthodoxy coupled with a view of a heavenly Father whose love is conditioned on his Son's suffering, and further conditioned by our repentance, leads inevitably to a restriction in the preaching of the gospel. Why? Because it leads to a restriction in the heart of the preacher that matches the restriction he sees in the heart of God!”

“So the end of the matter is this: Live for God. Obey the Scriptures. Think of others before yourself. Be holy. Love Jesus. And as you do these things, do whatever else you like, with whomever you like, wherever you like, and you'll be walking in the will of God.”

“As you gave the ring to one another and have now received it a second time from the hand of the pastor, so love comes from you, but marriage from above, from God. As high as God is above man,
so high are the sanctity, the rights, and the promise of love.
It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.”
-DIETRICH BONHOEFFER

“When a man comes into an inn and sees there a fair cupboard of plate, he is not troubled that it is not his own. - why? Because he is going away. So let us not be troubled when we see that other men have great wealth, but we have not. - why? We are going away to another country; you are, as it were, only lodging here for a night.”
