Text Quotes
The solution to staying on the right side of the fine line between using and abusing grace is repentance. The road to repentance is godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly sorrow is developed when we focus on the true nature of sin as an offense against God rather than something that makes us feel guilty  (Against Quotes) God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves  (Against Quotes) The problem of why God created the universe still troubles thinking men; but if we cannot know why, we can at least know that He did not bring His worlds into being to meet some unfulfilled need in Himself, as a man might build a house to shelter him against the winter cold or plant a field of corn to provide him with necessary food. The word 'necessary' is wholly foreign to God  (Against Quotes) W. S. Plumer said, "We never see sin aright until we see it as against God.... All sin is against God in this sense: that it is His law that is broken, His authority that is despised, His government that is set at naught.... Pharaoh and Balaam, Saul and Judas each said, `I have sinned' but the returning prodigal said, `I have sinned against heaven and before thee' and David said, `Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned  (Against Quotes) Desire is the catalyst that enables a person with average ability to compete and win against others with more natural talent  (Against Quotes) The atonement was God's extending favor to people who deserved not favor but wrath. The atonement was God's bridging the awful “Grand Canyon” of sin to reach people who were in rebellion against Him. And He did this at infinite cost to Himself by sending Jesus to die in our place  (Against Quotes) Sin, in the final analysis, is rebellion against the sovereign Creator, Ruler, and Judge of the universe. It resists the rightful prerogative of a sovereign Ruler to command obedience from His subjects. It says to an absolutely holy and righteous God that His moral laws, which are a reflection of His own nature, are not worthy of our wholehearted obedience  (Against Quotes) It would not be a good place for the heroine of a modern novel to stay at. The heroine of a modern novel is always “divinely tall,” and she is ever “drawing herself up to her full height.” At the “Barley Mow” she would bump her head against the ceiling each time she did this  (Against Quotes) Contented, unambitious people are all very well in their way. They form a neat, useful background for great portraits to be painted against, and they make a respectable, if not particularly intelligent, audience for the active spirits of the age to play before  (Against Quotes) I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is 'Abortion', because it is a war against the child... A direct killing of the innocent child, 'Murder' by the mother herself... And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts  (Against Quotes) No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace or insure it victory in time of war  (Against Quotes) No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace, or ensure it of victory in time of war  (Against Quotes) Rouze up, o young men of the new age! Set your foreheads against the ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the camp, the court and the university, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental and prolong corporeal war  (Against Quotes) The stolen and perverted writings of Homer and Ovid, of Plato and Cicero, which all men ought to contemn, are set up by artifice against the sublime of the bible  (Against Quotes) Mock on, mock on, voltaire, rousseau. Mock on, mock on-'tis all in vain! You throw the sand against the wind, and the wind blows it back again  (Against Quotes) I have against me the bourgeois, the military and the diplomats, and for me, only the people who take the Metro  (Against Quotes) We have failed to grasp the fact that mankind is becoming a single unit, and that for a unit to fight against itself is suicide  (Against Quotes) Socialism also brings us up against the hard rock of eugenic fact which, if we neglect it, will dash our most beautiful social construction to fragments  (Against Quotes) The life of man is a struggle with nature and a struggle with the machine; when nature and the machine link forces against him, man hasn't a chance  (Against Quotes) That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians  (Against Quotes) You can't be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who's for you and who's against you  (Against Quotes) I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him  (Against Quotes) He alone is wise who can accommodate himself to all contingencies of life; but the fool contends, and struggling, like a swimmer, against the stream  (Against Quotes) That's what liberalism is all about, is promoting incompetence on the basis it's fair, because people would be the best if they weren't discriminated against  (Against Quotes) Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy  (Against Quotes) The objector and the rebel who raises his voice against what he believes to be the injustice of the present and the wrongs of the past is the one who hunches the world along  (Against Quotes) And yet there is an anger that purifies the heart: the anger of the better against the baser part, against the false and wicked, against the tyrant's sword, against the enemies of love, and all that hate the Lord  (Against Quotes) To operate an intelligence network against the Islamist terror is terribly difficult because they don't have a central command and control center such as we would understand. therefore you cannot penetrate at the top and find out what will happen on the ground  (Against Quotes) You can't make war against terror. Terror is a technique of battle. It's a tactic that has been employed since time immemorial. You can conduct clandestine action against terrorists, and that must be done  (Against Quotes) The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness  (Against Quotes)
