1 " What is missing in our time is not the willingness of God to
act in biblical ways, but the willingness of his people to believe
he is still the God of the Bible—and to act on that faith. To throw
away fear, to stride against common wisdom, to risk all that we
have and all that we are so we may follow only our simple belief
that the God of the Scriptures is still alive and that he will still
do what he says in his Word. "

― Wes Moore , Forcefully Advancing

"

― Margaret R. Ellsberg , The Gospel in Gerard Manley Hopkins
