“I’ll tell you what makes me optimistic, is that this country is still full of people who just didn’t get the word. And they are starting things and inventing things and creating things and organizing things. If you want to be an optimist about America, stand on your head. You look at this country from the bottom up. You see the potential. We’re like a space shuttle, all that thrust coming from below. But right now the booster rocket, Washington, D.C., is cracked and leaking energy. And the pilots in the cockpit are fighting over the flight plan. So we can’t achieve the escape velocity we need now to get to the next level. You fix those things, we take off.”
― Thomas Friedman

“The main thing in life is not to figure everything out but to rely on God to provide what we need to accomplish his will in every circumstance – including the best theology for the job – and then to get on with that work.”
― John G. Stackhouse

“Forgiveness with an agenda is manipulation. Mercy with a script is a drama. You don’t need another person to step up in order to move with compassion – it’s a dance step that can be done by one. Until they “dance” with you – dance alone.”
― Sandy Ohlman

“We believe that the death of Christ is just that point in history at which something absolutely unimaginable from outside shows through into our own world. And if we cannot picture even the atoms of which our own world is built, of course we are not going to be able to picture this. Indeed, if we found that we could fully understand it, that very fact would show it was not what it professes to be-the inconceivable, the uncreated, the thing from beyond nature, striking down into nature like lightning.”
― C.S. Lewis, More Christianity: Finding the Fullness of the Faith
