Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings, 1963
"It is never a minor thing to know God’s will and not do it. God calls this sin. At times we deceive ourselves into thinking that good intentions equal obedient actions. They do not. A good intention without corresponding activity is disobedience. God’s call is not to 'make a decision' but to obey. Substituting our other good works is not the same as obeying. Only obedience satisfies God’s desire for obedience."
Henry Blackaby, Have You Done What You Know To Do?
“There are only two kinds of people in the end — those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.' All that are in Hell choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce, 1945
"As you have willed it, so your house is now yours to command— but it is made desolate.’”
Matthew 23:38
"In unison across an ocean and a continent, the fourth Response: 'And
His Name is Hate.' The Red Pillar and the Tree of Knowledge were
incensed. The fifth Invocation: 'I believe in the Ancient Fox.' The fifth lusty Response: 'And His Name is Lie.' The Black Pillar was
incensed, as the symbol of all that is desolate and abominable."
Malachi Martin, Windswept House, 1996

“For these are a rebellious people, deceitful children, unwilling to listen to the commandments of the Lord. They say to their seers,‘Do not see!’, and to the prophets,‘Say nothing of what is right. Tell us only the things that please us — prophesy illusions.'"Have a pleasant evening.
