Law is downstream from culture. By the time you make a law about something, you're reacting, not acting. I'd rather shape the culture.
Rick WarrenHow does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.
Rick WarrenWorry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
