Revelations Quotes (page 9)

John Piper quote: "Humility is the flip side of giving God all the glory...."
Humility is the flip side of giving God all the glory. Humility means reveling in his grace, not our goodness. John Piper
The heavenly blessing is to be delivered from the law, sin and death; to be justified and quickened to life: to have peace with God; to have a faithful heart, a joyful conscience, a spiritual consolation; to have the knowledge of Jesus Christ; to have the gift of prophecy, and the revelation of the Scriptures; to have the gift of the Holy Ghost, and to rejoice in God. Martin Luther
There is no doubt that these legendary gentlemen were capable of experiencing, even to an intense degree, the sensation of fear--otherwise they would have been much calmer, and would ot have made the sense of danger into a necessity of their nature. No, but overcoming their own cowardice--that of course, was what tempted them. A ceaseless reveling in victory and the awareness that no one can be victorious over you--that was what attracted them. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything. James Baldwin
The writer must be able to revel and roll in the abundance of words; he must know not only the direct but also the secret power of a word. There are overtones and undertones to a word, and lateral echoes, too. Knut Hamsun
What a revelation it was, to discover so many ordinary people in a place together, more conscious of God than of one another: not there to show off their hats or their clothes, but to pray, or at least to fulfill a religious obligation, not a human one. For even those who might have been there for no better motive than that they were obliged to be, were at least free from any of the self-conscious and human constraint which is never absent from a Protestant church where people are definitely... Thomas Merton
Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places, want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something; this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, 'the aesthetic event'. Jorge Luis Borges
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God’s sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience... John Owen
Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote: "Deep thinking is attainable only by a man of deep feeling, and..."
Deep thinking is attainable only by a man of deep feeling, and all truth is a species of revelation Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It may be in the cultural particularities of people? in their oddities? that some of the most instructive revelations of what it is to be generically human are to be found. Clifford Geertz
Perhaps the most terrible (or wonderful) thing that can happen to an imaginative youth, aside from the curse (or blessing) of imagination itself, is to be exposed without preparation to the life outside his or her own sphere - the sudden revelation that there is a there out there. Tom Robbins
Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired. This has long been the barrier to science assuming a mantle of divine revelation. Science is so obviously man-made. Fanatics (and many are fanatic on one subject or another) must know where you stand, but more important, must recognise who whispers in your ear." -... Frank Herbert
Her mind traveled crooked streets and aimless goat paths, arriving sometimes at profundity, other times at the revelations of a three-year-old. Throughout this fresh, if common, pursuit of knowledge, one conviction crowned her efforts: ...she knew there was nothing to fear. Toni Morrison
John Irving quote: "there was no better company for an especially personal..."
there was no better company for an especially personal revelation than the company of virtual strangers. John Irving
Dizzy Gillespie quote: "There have been two great revelations in my life: The first..."
There have been two great revelations in my life: The first was bepop, the second was homeopathy. Dizzy Gillespie
