Heaven

"What has always made the state of hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it his heaven."

- Holderlin

Son Shine

"The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sunhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the son shines on it."

- C.S. Lewis

Don't Stay Down

"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."

- Mary Pickford 

The Goal of Faith

"Hebrews 11:6 tells us that "without faith it impossible to please God."  The goal of faith is not the elimination of risk.  There is no such thing as risk free faith but unfortunately most of us want to eliminate risk and increase our security.  That is not faith!  Faith is the opposite.  With faith, the risk increases and our man-made security decreases."

Into The Light

"Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light."

- Norman B. Rice
