“We are lonely even in the milling crowds of a city where we may only be recognized as customers for goods and services. Our personalities are weakened and starved by the impersonal life in a city. That is why there is so much wreckage in a city. Our families answer this need to some degree but not completely. And so in the last analysis it is only God who can give us the comfort of utter understanding.” -Lyman V. Cady
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
In sky and land and river wide
The work of God I see.
-Matilda Watts Cahoon
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.” -John Calvin
 
John Calvin was born in 1509. He was a French Protestant theologian of the Reformation. John Calvin passed on in 1564.
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do great things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things . . . I got nothing I asked for but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among men most richly blessed!” -Roy Campanella
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“If God deprives his children of any present blessing, it is so that he may bestow upon them a greater and more glorious one by and by.” -George Q. Cannon
 
George Quayle Cannon was born on 11 January 1827 in Liverpool, England. He became a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. George Quayle Cannon passed on at 74 years of age on 12 April 1901 in Monterey, California, United States of America.
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“As a symbol of their covenant with God and each other, the Scottish Covenanters began wearing a red collar around their neck. Noting the symbolism, the English began to derisively refer to these religious dissenters as “Rednecks.” Thus, the origin of the term was born in Christian reformation and resistance to religious and political coercion. Due to their religious and political oppression, and eventual defeat, many of Scotland’s Covenanters fled their homeland and came to settle the American South. So it is that the South became the historic home for the Scottish “Rednecks,” who sought to live according to the true teachings of the Bible.” -Wayne Carlson: “In Praise of Redneckism” (19 February 2002)
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“If anyone would tell you the shortest surest way to all happiness and perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you, for it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you will turn it into a blessing.” -Merlin Carothers
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Being a Christian isn’t for sissies. It takes a real man to live for God - a lot more man than to live for the Devil.” -Johnny Cash
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Christians neutralized into inactivity will be spectators of their country’s free fall to collapse.” -John W. Chalfant: “Abandonment Theology” (1996)
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“The brightest crowns that are worn in Heaven have been tried and smelted and polished and glorified through the furnaces of tribulation.” -Edwin Hubbel Chapin
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Anything that dims my vision for Christ or takes away my taste for Bible study or cramps me in my prayer life or makes Christian work difficult is wrong for me; and I must as a Christian turn away from it.” -J. Wilbur Chapman
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“This mortal probation is a brief period, just a short span linking the eternity of the past with the eternity of the future. Yet it was to be a period of tremendous importance. It is in fact the most vital period of our entire eternal existence. In this mortal state, we come face to face with innumerable temptations and pressures. Sometimes we come in contact with advocates of wrongdoing, disobedience, and sin. Lucifer is going about tempting those who can be tempted to see if he can lead them astray.” -Elray L. Christiansen
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“I hear no one boast that he hath a knowledge of the Scriptures but that he owneth a Bible written in golden characters. And tell me then what profiteth this? The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.” -John Chrysostom
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Our Christian civilization as well as our political democracy has developed through the inspiration of a high faith in man, the common man. He is the sovereign of the State not because he is always wise but because he and his fellow-citizens are the State.” -Franklin P. Cole
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“God hides some ideal in every human soul. At some time in our life we feel a trembling, fearful longing to do some good thing. Life finds its noblest spring of excellence in this hidden impulse to do our best.” -Robert Collyer
 
Robert Collyer was born on 29 January 1824 in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. He became a blacksmith and a Methodist minister. He emigrated to the United States of America in 1850. In 1859, he became a Unitarian clergyman, and in 1903 he became pastor emeritus. Robert Collyer passed on at 66 years of age on 30 November 1912 in New York, United States of America.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Faith gives the courage to live and do. Scientists, with their disciplined thinking, like others need a basis for the good life, for aspiration, for courage, to do great deeds. They need a faith to live by. The hope of the world lies in those who have such faith and who use the methods of science to make their visions become real. Visions and hope and faith are not part of science. They are beyond the nature that science knows. Of such is the religion that gives meaning to life.” -Arthur H. Compton

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
God moves in a mysterious way
     His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
     And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
     Of never failing skill
He treasures up his bright designs
     And works his sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints fresh courage take
     The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
     In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
     But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
     He hides a smiling face.
-William Cowper: hymn

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid.” -Frederick W. Cropp

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“How we observe the Sabbath indicates our feelings toward our Father in Heaven.” -LeGrand R. Curtis
