“All that God requires of us is an opportunity to show what He can do.”

Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray.

It is not the part of faith to question, but to obey.

A divided heart loses both worlds.

The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world.

When I cannot understand my Father’s leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful-Only wait.

I cannot understand how any man or woman can believe in the Lord’s coming and not be a missionary, or at least committed to the work of missions with every power of his being.

God’s jewels are often sent us in rough packages and by dark liveried servants, but within we find the very treasures of the King’s palace and the Bridegroom’s Love.

You must have faith in God.

All earth-born hopes with time must pass away; prayer grasps eternal things; pray, always pray.

While the aesthetics of consumption (photographic or otherwise) requires a heroicized myth of the artist, the exemplary practice of the player-off codes requires only an operator, a producer, a scriptor, or a pasticheur.

My biggest challenge is cooking traditional French dishes, which usually require very specific techniques and methods. That’s just not my style… I cook from the soul.

That was my challenge then, how to make scratching still fun for someone who didn’t necessarily come to hear that. It was fun to develop that technique. And now in dance music – I’m still a hip-hop guy at heart, but I love dance music.

It is of eloquence as of a flame; it requires matter to feed it, and motion to excite it; and it brightens as it burns.
