"I don’t care how much the world sucks up to you, I don’t care how beautiful you are, I don’t care how rich you are, I don’t care what your credentials are, I don’t care how good your resume is.  You are a sinner before God, and you are lost without the grace of Jesus Christ.  Before the cross, you are just like the next guy, no matter how degraded he is, no matter how much a failure he is." Tim Keller

"To say to God, “don’t let anything bad happen to me” is to say to God, “don’t love me.”" C.S. Lewis
