Being Formed More & More

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind."
- Henry David Thoreau

"I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.”
- C.S. Lewis

"I shall work on coming into a far more intimate relation with Christianity; up to now I have in a way been standing altogether outside it, fighting for its truth. I have borne the cross of Christ in a quite external way, like Simon of Cyrene."
- Soren Kierkeegard

"To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations - 'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery' - just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." 
- Revelation 2:26-29

"People don't read the Bible, they read you." - Corrie ten Boom


"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost. 
The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by frost." 
- J.R.R. Tolkien
