Men have forgotten God. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today’s world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain—Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The Templeon Address.
Our life consists not in the pursuit of material success but in the quest for worthy spiritual growth. Our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage in the movement toward something higher, and we must not stumble and fall, nor must we linger fruitlessly on one rung of the ladder.—Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The Templeon Address.
“There is, properly speaking, no glory any where but in God; and whatever glory other beings possess is but an emanation, a spark, derived from him, and communicated to them. It is his glory which is seen and admired in their glory.”—John Venn.
“The making any other end than God’s glory our object, is the sum and essence of idolatry. It incurs all its guilt and all its evils. It [God’s glory] brings the whole life into perfect harmony, inward and outward. It promotes holiness, and happiness, and usefulness.”—Charles Hodge.
The heart of man, restless and unsatisfied in itself, longs after something on which it can repose with satisfaction and delight; but in every other object there is some imperfection inherent, and thence arises the necessity of making the glory of God, and the apprehension and diffusion of his glory, at once our sweetest privilege and highest obligation.—Henry Craik.
