••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Many Christians are reluctant to become involved in public affairs because politics is a ‘dirty business,’ but the same people are generally quite happy to go into business life, which is in its way just as ‘dirty.’ If the dubious practices and moral compromises of every walk of life were dissected and made known with the glare of publicity which shines on the activities of politicians, then those who like to think that they can keep their hands clean would have very few professions to choose from.” -John Lawrence: “Hard Facts” (1958)
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Never think that God’s delays are God’s denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.” -Georges-Louis Leclerc: as quoted in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert: “Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers” (1895), page 444

“It is a union with a Higher Good by love, that alone is endless perfection. The only sufficient object for man must be something that adds to and perfects his nature, to which he must be united in love; somewhat higher than himself, yea, the highest of all, the Father of spirits. That alone completes a spirit and blesses it, - to love Him, the spring of spirits.” -Robert Leighton: as quoted in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert: “Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers” (1895), page 449
 
 “The Sum is: 1. Remember always the presence of God. 2. Rejoice always in the will of God. And 3. Direct all to the glory of God.” -Robert Leighton

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Among the many strange servilities mistaken for pieties one of the least lovely is that which hopes to flatter God by despising the world and vilifying human nature.” -George Henry Lewes

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
I realize I had to learn . . . to stop chasing the perishable prizes of this Earth . . . and give my best effort unto God and trust Him with the results. -Jeremy Lin
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful. Beauty is God’s hand-writing - a way-side sacrament; welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank for it Him, the fountain of all loveliness, and drink it in, simply and earnestly, with all your eyes; it is a charmed draught, a cup of blessing.” -Parson Lot (pseudonym of Charles Kingsley): ‘The National Gallery’ published in “Politics for the People” (6 May 1848), page 5
 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 
“Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.” -Max Lucado
 
Max Lucado was born on 11 January 1955 in San Angelo, Texas, United States of America. He is a Christian writer and a preacher at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. Website www.MaxLucado.com.

“God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars.” -Martin Luther

“Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.” -Martin Luther
 
“Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in words alone, but in every leaf in Springtime.” -Martin Luther
 
Martin Luther was born on 10 November 1483. He was a German theologian and leader of the Reformation movement. He began the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, and his followers soon split from the Roman Catholic Church to begin the Protestant tradition. This led to the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the Protestant denominations. Martin Luther passed on at 62 years of age on 18 February 1546.
