Above 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.

If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you.

In the name of Jesus Christ, who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all of eternity before us, make us take time to live---time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessings, and time to know each other.

Most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do; our trouble is that we do not want to do it.

The proof of how real Jesus knew hell to be is that He came to earth to save us from it.

Get off, you look ugly (to a blood splattered player during a game)

Give according to your income lest God make your income according to your giving.
