Book cover for The Varieties of Religious Experience
The gods we stand by are the gods we need and can use, the gods whose demands on us are reinforcements of our demands on ourselves and on one another.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“If we do not give thanks daily for the Christian community in which we have been placed, even when there are no great experiences, no noticeable riches, but much weakness, difficulty, and little faith—and if, on the contrary, we only keep complaining to God that everything is so miserable and so insignificant and does not at all live up to our expectations—then we hinder God from letting our community grow according to the measure and riches that are there for us all in Jesus Christ.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible

Stephen D. Morrison
“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
S.D. Morrison, 10 Reasons Why the Rapture Must be Left Behind

Albert Camus
“The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer's soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

A.W. Tozer
“Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.”
A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God: The Human Thirst for the Divine

Seneca
“Nature permits us respite only when we are free from the desires of the flesh. It is a truth that sustains us and is a serious principle at the heart of all existence. It lifts our life beyond the confines of earthly concerns and exalts our natures to the stars. Is this not a miracle?”
Seneca, Stoic Six Pack 2 (Illustrated): Consolations From A Stoic, On The Shortness of Life and More
