Faith never goes contrary to reason -- faith simply ignores reason and rises above it.

God's justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity. The vague and tenuous hope that God is 'too kind' to punish the ungodly has become deadly opiate for the consciences of millions. It hushes their fears and allows them to practice all pleasant forms of iniquity while death draws everyday nearer and the command to repent goes unregarded. As responsible moral beings, we dare not so trifle with our eternal future.

The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.

The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.

Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.

Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him.
