OUT OF THE DARKNESS

Phillip Brooks wrote in 1837, "Out of the hillsides of humiliated pride, deep in the darkness of crushed despair, in the fretting and dusty atmosphere of little cares, in the hard cruel contacts that man has with man; wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways - God is hewing out the pillars of His heavenly Temple."

(From a sermon by James Lee, "Study in Revelation" 1/16/2009)
