Grace, like the earth's water system, operates on gravity - the spiritual "gravity of grace." Just as the waters of Niagara roll over the falls and plunge down to make a river below, and just as that river flows ever down to the even lower ranges of its course, then glides to still more low-lying areas where it brings life and growth, so it is with God's grace. Grace's gravity carries it to the lowly in heart, where it brings life and blessing. Grace goes to the humble.

“The most miserable person in the world is the half committed Christian; just enough into God to be miserable in the world, but just enough into the world to be miserable in God."
~Charles Spurgeon

Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. ~Jim Elliot

Do not be ersatz philosophers, do not be ersatz cultural theorists, do not be ersatz anything. Be genuine theologians. Be sure-footed in philosophy, sure-footed in cultural theory, and the like. And struggle to find a voice that can be heard, if not agreed with, not just by theologians but others as well. But then: be theologians.

The first sign of the heavenly calling is an intense, all-absorbing desire for the work. In order to be a true call to the ministry, there must be an irresistible, overwhelming craving and raging thirst for telling to others what God has done to our own souls.
~Jason Keith Allen

One of the ways humanity is meant to exercise God’s loving dominion is through bringing out the latent potentials of God’s created order, what is often called “culture work.” Culture work [means] cultivating the earth to produce food, cultivating relationships to produce flourishing families, cultivating legal systems to create order and peace, and cultivating financial systems to produce justice and equity. Whenever [human beings] work to bring out the hidden potentials of God’s creation, we are fulfilling God’s plan for humanity, “tilling the earth” so that it might bear fruit.
~Bruce Ashford, One Nation Under God

Gospel preaching is God's chosen instrument to awaken sinners to salvation and to mature them into Christlikeness. The sermon is to do more than entertain or simply fill the hour of worship. The sermon is to impart words of life—words of new life to the unbeliever and words of continual renewal and growth for the Christian.
~Jason Keith Allen

There is no such thing as attainment in this life; as soon as one arrives at a long-coveted position he only jacks up his desire another notch or so and looks for higher achievement—a process which is ultimately suspended by the intervention of death. Life is truly likened to a rising v***r, coiling, evanescent, shifting. May the Lord teach us what it means to live in terms of the end, like Paul who said, ‘Neither count I my life dear unto myself, that I might finish my course with joy.'
~Elisabeth Elliot, Through Gates of Splendor

Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.
~J.I. Packer

The most excellent study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity.
~C.H. Spurgeon
