God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.
Peter MarshallWhen we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
Peter MarshallAbove all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs.
Peter Marshall
