    God wrote His loveliest poem on the day He made the first silver poplar tree, And set it high upon a pale-gold hill For all the new enchanted earth to see.



    Paul Tillich can show us that the unity which we seek as Christians must involve our denominations in changes even greater than those which many of us now expect. His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for 'the Church' but for 'the whole inhabited world'. The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.

    Why this is hell, nor am I out of it Thinkst thou that I who saw the face of God, And tasted the eternal joys of heaven, Am not tormented with ten thousand hells In being deprived of everlasting bliss ... When all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven.



    We've known this for, good God, it goes back almost a year now. Probably a lot of people who don't own Boeing stay away from it for this reason, but those that do had already accounted for it.

    ..fiery yearnings their own phantom-futures make, and deem it present. So, after all these fearful, fainting trances, the verdict be, the golden haven was not gained - - yet, in bold quest thereof, better to sink in boundless deeps, than float on vulgar shoals and give me, ye gods, an utter wreck, if wreck I do.

    Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top and say, 'I can.' You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be... Courage must come from the soul within, The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad, You were born with all that the great have had, With your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself, and say 'I can'.

    From a distance, We all have enough, And no one is in need,And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease, No hungry mouths to feed - God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, From a distance




    You must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are honest men in other particulars, know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits.

    But there is no withdrawal, but with tobacco there is terrible withdrawal, it is almost impossible for a lot of people. I did , I went cold turkey, they never had any patches in those days but grass was not difficult, alcohol not difficult, but tobacco - oh my god.

    DO not lay the blame on Godhead, as you are prone to do. When everything goes right you say that God has come close to you when something goes wrong you say that God has deserted you and gone far away He does not move far or near.


    The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.



    I have read and heard a good many statements by eminent writers and speakers to the effect that our liberty of which we are justly proud is an achievement, and not a gift. In the sense that it had to be worked for, fought for, and preserved with vigilance these statements are true. But let it never be forgotten that our concept of liberty is a gift. No human is the author of that concept. Many great men have so recognized it as did Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and declared that 'men are endowed with certain inalienable rights.' Why are these rights inalienable Because men did not create the right to liberty In the exercise of his free agency he may surrender his privileges, and his property, and he may become the slave of others or of the state, but his free agency is as native to him as the air he breathes. It is part and parcel of his eternal constitution, and Jefferson was 'righter than I think he himself knew' when he declared it an endowment which cannot be alienated. The message which we bear affirms that God is the Author of our inalienable liberty that men, all men are of noble lineage, sons and daughters of the Eternal Father and that liberty is their birthright. I thank God that... noble men were blessed with this lofty concept of man's inherent right to liberty and that they were prompted to incorporate these divine principles in the organic law and history of our favored land.

    And be patient, for surely Allah does not waste the reward of the good-doers.





    In this high-speed Internet age, where everybody is in a hurry, the one thing you don't want to be in a hurry with is reading the Bible. You don't speed-read the word of God. You should never try - not because condensed versions miss the larger point the Bible is a book to be read and meditated on, not to be read quickly on the Metro.


    We visited your temple, an inspired work of God And felt that he was with us, as through the grounds we trod. We cant explain the feeling, that swept from head to toe, With the organ softly playing, when at last we turned to go But we knew that in his heaven, God has planned a wondrous sight, We had a glimpse of heaven, when we visited last night.

    The ever-present expectancy of death is never far removed from any of us whether we realize it or not. None of us can avoid it. It comes alike to the great and to the unknown to the righteous and to the unrighteous. Wherein we differ is not in our ability to avert it, but in the preparedness with which we meet it. At such times some question the judgments of God. Some find bitterness because of the circumstances and because of the seeming untimeliness of death.


    It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.


    Devotional singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, to glimpse the beauty that is God, to taste the bliss that is the Self. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real Self.

    As good almost kill a man as kill a good book who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, Gods image but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.



    Surely We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to be unfaithful to it and feared from it, and man has turned unfaithful to it surely he is unjust, ignorant So Allah will chastise the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, and Allah will turn (mercifully) to the believing women, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

    Sometimes we have to put our own desires aside to see his. During the whole IVF procedure, I felt like God was telling me not to do it. I just had to make sure I wasn't hearing him wrong, so I did it anyway. Now, over 12,000 later, I wish I would have trusted that he was indeed talking to me. I know I heard him calling us to foster careadoption. This time I didn't hesitate to make sure I heard him right. His voice was way too clear.



    The essence of Christianity is the appeal to the life of Christ as a revelation of the nature of God and of God's agency in the world. The record is fragmentary, inconsistent, and uncertain.... But there can be no doubt as to what elements in the record have evoked a response from all that is best in human nature. The Mother, the Child, and the bare manger the lowly man, homeless and self-forgetful, with his message of peace, love, and sympathy the suffering, the agony, the tender words as life ebbed, the final despair and the whole with the authority of supreme victory.
