It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. Author: Charles Spurgeon Source: I am the Lord, I Change Not, Devotional from Mal. 3:6. |

Life depends upon contact with Life. It cannot spring up out of itself. It cannot develop out of anything that is not Life. There is no Spontaneous Generation in religion any more than in Nature.

Author: Henry Drummond Source: Natural Law, Bio-genesis, p. 74. |
