Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed

Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.

In the Old Testament, it says that if you have the power to do something good, then you have to do it. You're not to avoid helping somebody in their time of need.

I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.

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.

To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.
