Holiness does not consist in mystical speculations, enthusiastic fervors, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.

The Holy Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:5

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Inspiration & Intelligibility

Language, revelation, and its religious misuse: Contrasting the character of biblical and Vedic speech
Revelation is by virtue of the Son and carried out by the Spirit, effecting understanding and a renewed relation between God and men. In scripture, language is made to serve God in a rational and benighted soul and make him a devoted soul. God’s words are given to us by the prophets, inscribed with a pen.

The Christian Can Hope Perfectly

Geerhardus Vos on the Christian’s hope
"But the Christian’s hope is positive. His youth is like that of the heir who knows precisely what awaits him. No, more than this, the Christian has the assurance which no heir in temporal things can ever have. He knows with absolute certainty that the inheritance will not merely be kept for him, but that he will be kept for it."
