1) "Folly and Wickedness of Men:" Psalm 14:1-3 "The fool has said in his heart [Kardia on the Koine Greek referring to the human mind which circulates thought in contrast with the human heart which circulates blood], “There is no God.” They are corrupt [depraved], they have committed abominable [a]deeds; There is no one who does [divine] good. 2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who [b]understand, Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt [with covert and overt sins]; There is no one who does good, not even one." / "Footnotes: a.Psalm 14:1 Lit doings; b.Psalm 14:2 Or act wisely. " New American Standard Bible (NASB)

'Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.'

Albert Einstein

“It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.”

Mark Twain quotes (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)

4) John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His [a]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the [b ]only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
"Footnotes: a.John 3:16 Or unique, only one of His kind; b.John 3:18 Or unique, only one of His kind."

“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning,
we should never have found out that it has no meaning...” C.S. Lewis

"'Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees."

"The room at Guinea Station where Lt. General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson died. Sunday, May 10, 1863.
Click here to see a brief video of this room (large file)."

"On Sunday May 10, 1863, in the bed pictured above, Confederate Lieutenant General Thomas Jonathan Jackson passed from this earth. A devoutly religious man, when notified that he had not long to live, Jackson replied, "It is the Lord's Day. My wish is fulfilled. I have always desired to die on Sunday." His personal physician, Dr. Hunter McGuire, noted his final words. "A few moments before he died he cried out in his delirium, 'Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action! Pass the infantry to the front rapidly! Tell Major Hawks' -- then stopped, leaving the sentence unfinished. Presently a smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over his pale face, and he said quietly, and with an expression, as if of relief, 'Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees."

Captain James Power Smith who "all night long" kept his General "warmly wrapped and undisturbed in his sleep" would also later write: "And here, against our hopes, notwithstanding the skill and care of wise and watchful surgeons, attended day and night by wife and friends, amid the prayers and tears of all the Southern land, thinking not of himself, but of the cause he loved, and for the troops who had followed him so well and given him so great a name, our chief sank, day by day, with symptoms of pneumonia and some pains of pleurisy, until, 3:15 P.M. on the quiet of the Sabbath afternoon, May 10th, 1863, he raised himself from his bed, saying, " No, no, let us pass over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees"; and, falling again to his pillow, he passed away, over the river, where, in a land where warfare is not known or feared, he rests forever 'under the trees.'"
