JOHN MACQUARRIE
THÉOLOGIEN ÉCOSSAIS
PRINCIPES DE LA THÉOLOGIE CHRÉTIENNE, 1977
The resurrection means that he can bring forth the new. His working never comes to an end, for he can always open up a new possibility. . . . The cross speaks of God standing with his creatures in the flux of events; the resurrection speaks of his always being ahead of events. Both symbols seem essential to the idea of God.

Origène
We are obliged, therefore, to say that whoever speaks that which is foreign to religion is using many words, while he who speaks the words of truth, even should he go over the whole field and omit nothing, is always speaking the one word.
Origen

Prayer the genesis of revival. The beginning of a time of revival invariably has been marked by quickening of the ordinary prayer meetings, resulting in new vitality, more participation, more sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit, and more unction in intercession.

Where is the capacity for heaven to come from if it be not developed on earth? Where, indeed, is even the smallest appreciation of God and heaven to come from when so little of spirituality has ever been known or manifested here?
