When thereโs something in the Word of God that I donโt like, the problem is not with the Word of God, itโs with me.
R. C. SproulThe grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist; apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
