Killing of animals for food is one thing, but on the other hand they do not exist simply as things to be slaughtered. This is true of fishing, too. Many men fish and leave their victims to rot and stink. But what about the fish? Has he no rights - not to be romanticized as though he were a man - but real rights?

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

The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.

Things, things, things. Always more things, and success is seen as the abundance of things.

Our trusting the Lord does not mean that there are not times of tears. I think it is a mistake as Christians to act as though trusting the Lord and tears are not compatible.

In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.

In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
