note the quotables

I want to draw your attention to a new sidebar element that I just added. On the right side of the site, a section called “Quotables” lists small quotations that I either hear or read from someone. I like to dig up some great ones from men of the past, but also to snatch some gems from the wise men of today.

Here is a collection of the ones I’ve posted so far:

- “When it rains on our party we assume we planned the party for the wrong time. But maybe God wants us wet.” (Sean Higgins)
- “I am convicted that it takes intense suffering for me to cry out to God to face the daily battle, when this battle always existed but when I was healthy I was numbed to it.” (Andrew Mark)
- “Leadership is having all the service, not the glory.” (Dr. Varner)
- “Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.” (J.C. Ryle)
- “God’s sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible to pray with confidence.” (Jerry Bridges)
- “It is the incessant turmoil of the world and the constant attraction of earthly things that take away the soul from Christ.” (C.H. Spurgeon)
- “Standing in front of God is awesome. Everything else is a misuse of the word.” (Dr. Simons)
