#2 We must take the time to be silent and contemplate, especially those who live in big cities like London and New York. God is the friend of silence, and we must...

#1 God is the Creator of all that is good, beautiful, and true. God is also a sadistic monster who made ancient Hebrews eat their young. For me, the far more interesting question was always, What in the world is God like.
#2 We become like what we worship. If you think of God as a Left-Coast, educated, LGTBQ-affirming progressive, that will shape you into the stereotype...

#1 I was raised in a rural environment, and as a result, I inherited a practicality that says when something doesn't work, get rid of it. I chucked religion, and then education, as I searched for answers.
#2 I began to think that I could find happiness and meaning in prestige. I would find a noble cause, devote myself to it, and in the process, become well known...

Wide and diversified is the work belonging to the Church of Christ. In the household of God, there is no pillow for the indolent.
The term, 'an idle Christian', involves a contradiction. It has scarcely more meaning than a rayless suna waveless oceana noiseless waterfalla rose without perfume. In this community, each member has his appointed place. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that...
