“It would be a healing that would never, at least in this life, be total or final. But it was the moment when the fever broke for him. And the moment when heaven took possession of his soul.”
― Allen Levi, Theo of Golden

“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made know through Jesus Christ.”
― Pascal

“However a church is organized—with a senior pastor, lead pastor, teaching pastor, rector, or priest, along with associates, curates, elders, deacons, directors, and ministry leaders—the leaders guide the organization toward a particular culture. But they’re not the only ones who have a say in the matter. The congregation, too, is involved in shaping the culture of the church. So, though it is true that leaders lead and thus have a decisive and sometimes overriding voice in the formation of culture, it’s more accurate to say that leaders and congregations form the church’s culture together.”
― Laura McKnight Barringer, A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing
