"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we can live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world as we wait for the blessed hope and the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave himself for us to set us free from every wrong and to cleanse us so that we could be his special people who are enthusiastic about good works. These are the things you should say. Encourage and refute with full authority. Don't let anyone look down on you." (Titus 2:11-15, International Standard Version)

How do you feel about being in the Last Days?
"It is now apparent as we look back over the centuries that it has been the
will of God to have each generation feel that it is living in the very last
days of civilization. Each century has found the church fearing the cataclysms
of its own time as the last to come. Yet, inexorably, each passing century
has moved the world nearer the final end.
This sense of imminence is God's device to keep believers expectant and full
of hope in the midst of the world's darkness. Evil becomes more subtle in our
own day, and the difference between truth and error more difficult to detect.
The raucous voices of the age pour forth deceitful lies and society becomes
permeated with false concepts widely viewed as truth.
We too need to gather together to encourage each other [Heb 10:19-25] and renew
our hope by sturdy reaffirmations of the eternal truths of God's Word.

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart." Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:18-31)

"The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretel times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men's curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world." (Sir Isaac Newton, Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of John, J. Darby and T. Browne, London 1733.)

The works of the Lord are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them. (Psalm 111:2)
Inscription above the door of the Cavendish Laboratory (in Latin) placed by James Clerk Maxwell.
"Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it. Two significant developments have already appeared - the hypothesis of a lawless sub-nature, and the surrender of the claim that science is true. We may be living nearer than we suppose to the end of the Scientific Age." (M. D. Aeschliman: C. S. Lewis on Mere Science 1998 First Things,86 (October, 1998): 16-18.

"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything. And he made from one [Adam] every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him.
Yet he is not far from each one of us, for `In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, `For we are indeed his offspring.' Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man.
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17:24-31)
