Reflection of the Day
Sandy McGrath: Surely, uncle, a touch of liberality would do no harm.
Uncle: Sandy, the kingdom of God is not a democracy. The Lord never seeks re-election, there is no discussion, no deliberation, no referenda on which road to take. There is one right, one wrong, one absolute ruler.
Sandy McGrath: A dictator, you mean.
Uncle: Aye, but a benign, loving dictator.
Sandy McGrath: So much for your freedom of choice.
Eric Liddell: You've still got a choice, Sandy. Nobody's forcing you to follow.
