Balance

Jim Elliot

  • Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, and love without weakness.

Jim Elliot, quoted in The Berean Call, Bend, Oregon, March 1997


A Piece of Truth

Once the Devil was walking along with one of his cohorts. They saw a man ahead of them pick up something shiny. “What did he find?” asked the cohort. “A piece of the truth,” the Devil replied. “Doesn’t it bother you that he found a piece of the truth?” asked the cohort. “No,” said the Devil, “I will see to it that he makes a religion out of it.”

Quote

  • Christianity got over the difficulty of combining furious opposites, by keeping them both, and keeping them both furious. - G. K. Chesterton
