Why, God? You made man in your own image. Why then do so many lack good sense? And why is that we are so easily drawn to hate and kill each other? Why, God?

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God.

They prefer a God of an altogether softer flavor. Nothing too extreme. Complaisance, not magnanimity. They do not think upon the “God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God.” They prefer to think in terms of “God liking them.” That’s the God they’ve conjured for themselves.

“The world is glittering with gold, and yellow streamers of sunlight wind through the tree boughs like God was throwing a party!”

“Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.”

“O God, don't allow a sinner to do good to me as my mind may wish to love him”

“Oh, I wish that God had not given me what I prayed for! It was not so good as I thought”

I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.

What makes us saints of God is not our ability to be saintly but rather God’s ability to work through sinners.

Neither turn to thy own way nor seek thy own gain. But inquire the good way's of God.
