Kaitlyn Schiess
“We have biblical warrant to speak firmly and passionately about people who misuse God’s name, abuse image bearers, or lead God’s people astray. But we cannot claim prophetic fire without also claiming prophetic humility: “Woe to me!” Isaiah cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty” (Isa. 6:5).”
Kaitlyn Schiess, The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here

“So every society, be it religious or secular, totalitarian or multicultural, urban or agricultural, will be organized according to many overlapping figures that cohere into a dominant plausibility structure: small- and large-scale pictures and performances of truth woven into the fabric of the daily assumptions, rituals, actions, and choices of the people who live in that society and acting as a powerful catechesis into a particular way of viewing the world.”
Christopher Watkin, Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture

“Acts of faithful remembrance reach across the centuries without collapsing them. For example, the last supper is folded on top of the Passover feast, establishing a proximity across the centuries and retroactively reinterpreting the Passover meal itself as the foreshadowing of Christ’s death. Similarly, Psalm 22 is folded into Jesus’s experience and interpretation of the cross as if it had been written for that very moment—which, in fact, it had. In the pages of the Bible and in the Christian experience of time, promise and fulfilment kiss.”

Brother Lawrence
“If the ship of our soul is still tossed with winds and storms, let us awake the Lord, who sleeps in it, and He will quickly calm the sea.”
Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God In Modern English

“Just as all life begins with the gratuity of the unnecessary creation, all new life begins with the gratuity of Christ’s voluntary self-giving on the cross. Both creation and new creation are justified not by necessity but by love: nowhere in the Bible does it say that God so calculated profit and loss that he gave his only Son. The cross is not adequately explained by all that came before it, just as the creation of the universe is not adequately explained by all that comes after it. Both events are grounded in God’s freely given love.”
