In Every Encounter We Either Give Life

We Are Not Cowed Into Timidity By Death And Life. Were We Forced To Rely On Our Own Shabby Resources We Would Be Pitiful People In Deed. But The Awareness Of Christ's Present Risenness Persuades Us That We Are Buoyed Up And Carried On By A Life Greater Than Our Own.

When I Get Honest, I Admit I Am A Bundle Of Paradoxes. I Believe And I Doubt, I Hope And Get Discouraged, I Love And I Hate, I Feel Bad About Feeling Good, I Feel Guilty About Not Feeling Guilty. I Am Trusting And Suspicious. I Am Honest And I Still Play Games. Aristotle Said I Am A Rational Animal; I Say I Am An Angel With An Incredible Capacity For Beer.

In Essence, There Is Only One Thing God Asks Of Us - That We Be Men And Women Of Prayer, People For Whom God Is Everything And For Whom God Is Enough. That Is The Root Of Peace. We Have That Peace When The Gracious God Is All We Seek. When We Start Seeking Something Besides Him, We Lose It.

Faith Means Wanting God And Wanting To Want Nothing Else.

Though It Is True That The Church Must Always Dissociate Itself From Sin, It Can Never Have Any Excuse For Keeping Any Sinner At A Distance.
