“Gather up these four results. Christians are not orphans, and therefore not desolate. Peace is theirs—peace which Christ gives, as the world cannot give, through the ministry of a Person ever present. In the strength of that peace they become His witnesses, because they have a perpetual vision of the Lord.”

“Jesus expressed an earthy, semiotic theology by materializing his message through various media, including images, stories, actions (stilled storms, healed limbs), and objects like spit, fig trees, bursting baskets, etc. He was a master semiotician. You might even say that Jesus’ ministry was more a semiotics ministry than a preaching, teaching, or healing ministry.”

“When God of old came down from heaven, In power and wrath He came; Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame. * * * * * * But when He came the second time, He came in power and love; Softer than gale at morning prime Hover'd His holy Dove. The fires that rush'd on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. Like arrows went those lightnings forth, Wing'd with the sinner's doom; But these, like tongues o'er all the earth, Proclaiming life to come. And as on Israel's awe-struck ear The voice, exceeding loud, The trump, that angels wake to hear, Thrill'd from the deep, dark cloud— So, when the Spirit of our God Came down His flock to find, A voice from heaven was heard abroad, A rushing, mighty wind. * * * * * * It fills the Church of God; it fills The sinful world around; Only in stubborn hearts and wills No place for it is found. J. KEBLE.”

“Human beings are unable to be about the serious business of living and building societies if they feel compelled to always clown or entertain others. People do not take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously. A sense of humor brings necessary balance to an organized life, but a life of humor blinds one to life.”
