I happen to believe there is evil in the world.

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.

Sometimes I just sit still and enjoy God’s presence.

The humanists‘ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
