Great/inspirational quotes

There is many a thing which the world calls disappointment; but there is no such thing in the dictionary of faith. What to others are disappointments are to believers intimations of the will of God.
― John Newton, author of Amazing Grace

"When someone else comes in between a man and his true Head (Christ the Lord) as some intermediary authority, that entity assumes portions of the roles belonging to each. Such an authority relieves a man of the responsibility God gave to the individual. In turn, such authority then denies God His direct authority over the man."

"Christ is the only One Who is really competent to wield a scepter over Adam’s race (Psalm 2:1-11)."

A.E. Knoch (1874-1965)
 
Not to overstate it, women are complicated beings. This is why Peter requires husbands to treat their wives “according to knowledge” (I Peter 3:7).

Men must study their wives, and they must do so according to what God has revealed in His Word.

Douglas Wilson
Federal Husband (1999)
 
"Things that fret childhood have no power to break the peace of manhood."

– J.R. Miller (1840-1912)

If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents – the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts – i.e., of materialism and astronomy – are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
The Business of Heaven
 
"Error needs the backing of human organization to foster and support it."

– A.E. Knoch (1874-1965)
 
"The Savior cannot desist from His reconciling work until every soul that God has made shall be, through all its depths, in harmony with Him. The task is vast and difficult beyond conception, and its accomplishment would be plainly impossible if it were committed to any weaker hands than those of the Son of God."
