The self-assured believer is a greater sinner in the eyes of God than the troubled disbeliever.
Soren KierkegaardPeople have an idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don't know is that they are the actors on the stage; he (the preacher) is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines.
Soren KierkegaardGod creates everything out of nothing. And everything which God is to use, he first reduces to nothing
