Reflections
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.
~ C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), British writer and theologian
…All the evil in this world Can be traced back to not fearing the Lord…
And if fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, then not fearing the Lord must lead to death. And that’s where we all stand… We find a prophecy about a Savior to come and it says that His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. Jesus feared God perfectly so that we might have a life in him that will not lead to death.
~ Eshon Burgundy w/ Shai Linne, contemporary hip-hop artists
The Christian message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity – hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory – because at the Father’s will Jesus became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross.
~ J.I. Packer, 1926-2020, Theologian, and author
