Thursday, December 20, 1956

"The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity - hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory - because at the Father's will Jesus Christ became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross."
— J. I. Packer

"It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him; for the one is unbelief - the other is contempt."

"It is an abuse to confess any kind of sin, mortal or venial, without a will to be delivered from it, since confession was instituted for no other end."
