"Every person in the world is by nature a slave to sin.Â The world, by nature, is held in sin's grip.Â What a shock to our complacency- that everything of us by nature belongs to sin.Â Our silences belong to sin, our omissions belong to sin, our talents belong to sin, our actions belong to sin.Â Every facet of our personalities belong to sin; it own us and dominates us.Â We are its servants."

-- Joel Beeke

“Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise? Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means. And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes. True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly what is before you. True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.”
“Apparently, I have a totally different sense of humour.”
