Tim Buck famous quotes

He (Jeremy Clarkson) is the last man standing on the beach commanding the glaciers' melt waters to go back

God never can use any man very much till he has grace enough to forget himself entirely while doing God's work; for He will not give His glory to another nor share with the most valued instrument the praise that belongs to Jesus Christ alone.

We may not preach a crucified Saviour without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration.
