"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

The Almost's Amazing because it is, is pretty powerfully done as well as the bridge in Life in Your ways Salty grave. Hardcore song that goes from a heavy breakdown to It is well with my soul. also Autumns Monologue by From Autumn to ashes is powerful to me because of the girls voice not lyrics.

EDIT: and unfortunatly i can't find clips of them i'll post lyrics later
Follow and suggest movies.

His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Since this an old gospel tune, and it's over a hundred years old, I assume you folks have heard it. My favorite rendition, unfortunately, isn't a recording. My sister and her husband are part of their congregation's gospel and rock performance group for contemparary worship. (She's the lead female vocal) I dearly wish she would record this and put it up on Garageband.com or something, because it is absolutely beautiful the way she sings it.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)

EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

Largo: "Well Ed, good to see ya. Guess I gotta beat the crap out of you now."

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

"Everything" by Lifehouse, at least when accompanied by the skit that goes w/ it.

That, as well as "Reach That Far" by Eleventyseven, and some others whose titles escape me at the moment.

A personal favorite of mine would be Five Iron Frenzy's Every New Day. This is the live version, so I'm not a huge fan of the way it sounds in comparison to the cleaner studio version, but the lyrics are incredible.

Its interesting you should mention it, a lot of the members of Five Iron Frenzy are pretty influential at my church here in Denver, the Scum of the Earth. As a matter of fact, I've been friends with Leanor Ortega, their saxaphonist, for quite some time.

I agree! That's my favorite song on that album.
