Eve doubted God, and I as a child of God am now to be exactly the opposite: I am to believe him. Eve doubted, and mankind in revolt doubts God. To believe him, not just when I accept Christ as Savior, but every moment, one moment at a time: this is the Christian life, and this is true spirituality.

Thank God for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with God himself.

Truth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless.

Belief does not change what is.

Jesus taught that the mark of the Christian is the observable love shown among all true believers.

Modern man has no real "value" for the ocean. All he has is the most crass form of egoist, pragmatic value for it. He treats it as a "thing" in the worst possible sense, to exploit it for the "good" of man. The man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real value. But for the Christian the value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because God made it.
