Living Words – Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987)
The principles by which believers live are squarely opposed to the principles by which unbelievers live. This is true in the field of education as well as in the church.

Living Words – C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you…
Living Words – Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957)

Living Words – James Henley Thornwell (1812 – 1862)
If the Church could be aroused to a deeper sense of the glory that awaits her, she would enter with a warmer spirit into the struggles that are before her. Hope would inspire ardour. She would even now arise from the dust, and like the eagle, plume her pinions for loftier flights than she has yet…
Living Words – William Law (1686 – 1761)
Again, let a tradesman but have this intention (to please God in all his actions as the happiest and best thing in the world), and it will make him a saint in his shop; his every-day business will be a course of wise and reasonable actions, made holy to God, by being done in obedience…
