Fridays are for Quotes

John Piper once said, "What I have learned from about twenty-years of serious reading is this. It is sentences that change my life, not books. What changes my life is some new glimpse of truth, some powerful challenge, some resolution to a long-standing dilemma, and these usually come concentrated in a sentence or two." To that end, I'll try and remember to post a quote each Friday that has deeply affected me, secular or Christian.

My wife pointed this out to me the other night, from The Rosemary Tree by Elizabeth Goudge:

"Though it is true for the power of God all things are superfluous it is also true that for the mercy of God nothing is."
