"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

Recently I read several volumes of Hagane. Can't say I'd categorically recommend it (random nudity and a fairly mundane storyline). But it has a decent premise and some of the elements are highly interesting. With the Hattori Hanzo parasite being introduced, though, I think I'm starting to dislike the plot's direction.

Recently, Love Collage. It was an immense waste of even what little time I spent with it. Also, I finally found new chapters of Old Boy (10+, even) and enjoyed taking the plot a bit further.

History's Strongest Disciple volume 6

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is a decent series. The first part of it has nearly no redeeming qualities and seems to exist for the purpose of fanservice, but once the martial arts aspect began to come in significantly this has decreased and things have improved overall.

After this both of those factors will drop off and the series will take on a tone reminiscent of high fantasy, which I feel is odd and abrupt. We'll see what you think of it.

Meanwhile, I read the first volume of Shelter of Wings at long last this morning. Very professional in appearance and I encourage everyone to buy it to support the Christian manga industry.

I picked up the first volume of Air Gear at the library and I'm undecided about it. Perhaps I'll pursue the series some more and find out if it's interesting (not that I'll be able to any time soon), unless someone here says something to the contrary.

i dunno. i read the first volume cause it looked like something new and original. however, the author IS Oh Great! and let's all remember that he was also the author of the extremely explicit and fanservice-filled manga tenge tenjo.

Ichigo_89 wrote:Spooky is definately the word for vol.13 (and a couple others)


i take it that this volume is one of the more disturbing ones of the series?...however, i cannot let the spiritual content factor of this manga hinder me from reading more into this amazing series. the manga is strictly a work a fiction. all fantasy and nothing more...
