The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
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.
R. C. SproulOur prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.
