Tragically, I cannot help but wonder if we have now abandoned truth to return to the palace, and rather than sitting alone under a tree waiting for enlightenment, we gravitate to mass entertainment under lights that cater to mass ignorance.
We are at a time when postmodernism defies certainty, truth, and meaning; when spiritualism dabbles in quantum theory; and when randomness has become the order of the day. Isn’t it ironic that at the same time, the world is on the edge of financial bankruptcy because we have conducted our financial affairs in a random fashion, as if there are no absolutes?
Young dreams may be wild ones, but they are never corrected by ridiculing them. They must be steered by a loving voice that has earned the right to be heard, not one enforced by means of power. This is a very difficult lesson for parents to learn. And as cultures lose their restraining power, there will be greater need for mutual love and respect between parents and children if a relationship of trust is to be built, rather than banking on authority because of position.
The purpose of prayer and of God’s call in your life is not to make you number one in the world’s eyes, but to make him number one in your life.

Our lives are shaped by others literally from birth, and even the best of intentions can result in the most unexpected of hurts.
Seeking new sensations while violating the sacred first desecrates the self and finally destroys the sensation.
It is a self-evident truth that a person who truly prays and seeks God’s wisdom in life recognizes the sovereignty of God and is committed to seeking God’s wisdom in life’s important choices.
I believe God intervenes in the lives of every one of us. He speaks to us in different ways and at different times so that we may know he is the author of our very personality.
I am well aware that objects are nearer than they appear and should be handled with care. These.
Just as strength is a man’s charm, so charm is a woman’s strength.
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28.
It is not just that we are immoral, but that a moral life alone cannot bridge what separates us from God.
The reality is that if religion is to be treated with intellectual respect, then it must stand the test of truth, regardless of the mood of the day.
Though I used to complain about the indecency of the idea of God’s wrath, I came to think that I would have to rebel against a God who wasn’t wrathful at the sight of the world’s evil. God isn’t wrathful in spite of being love. God is wrathful because God is love.13.
