Quotes from my reading:
"Midlife is a war between our dreams and reality, and too often, people, families, and churches are its casualties."
Lost in the Middle, Paul Tripp, pg 140.
About "ceremonies which are found different in different countires... we should not only refrain from finding fault with them, but even recommend them by our approval and imitation, unless restrained by fear of doing greater harm than good by this course.... as in the singing of hymns and psalms... so useful for inducing a devotional frame of mind and inflaming the strength of love to God, there is diversity of usage."
Letters of Augustine, letter 55, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, vol. 1, page 314.
