Taking every thought captive

There is nothing greater in the life of the church than to see men and women, temperamentally and constitutionally weak and fragile, enabled to endure what would make strong men quake: able to be patient in affliction, content whatever their circumstances, and making melody in their hearts always and in all things (Ephesians 5:20). That is the acme of Christian achievement and one of the most moving accomplishments of omnipotence. — Donald Macleod, Behold Your God (Fearn, Ross-shire: Christian Focus Publications, 1990), pp. 57-58
