Favorite Quotes
"There is no such thing as presenting truth without
attacking error"
- J. Gresham Machen
"I do know that waiting on God requires the
willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered
question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon
one's thoughts. It is easy to talk oneself into a decision that has
no permanence - easier sometimes than to wait patiently."
- Elisabeth Elliot
"Mercy and truth have met together
Righteousness and peace have kissed
Truth will sprout out of the earth
And righteousness will look down from heaven"
- Psalm 85:10-11
"I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree,
starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the
figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but
choosing one meant losing all the rest. And, as I sat there, unable
to decide, the figs begin to wrinkle and go black, and one by one, they
plopped to the ground at my feet."
- Sylvia Plath The Bell Jar
