As the perfect parent, God suffers emotional pain when his creatures, created in his own image and likeness, rebel against him and do evil instead of good.

Before saying 'I disagree' be sure you can say 'I understand.'

We're creatures, so we have limits.

Knowledge has come to be defined as what can be proven by secular evidence and arguments.

Only God has no limits (except those he voluntarily imposes on himself). The mantra "no limits" is actually a call to idolatry.

Humanism cannot survive on a purely secular platform.

To some of us, raised and trained in allowing the Bible to absorb the world (that is, to "see" all of reality through the biblical story), the Bible is quite clear about all really important matters.

Human beings are special, of higher dignity and worth than other animals, because they're created in God's own image and likeness. It's actually true humanism.

The biblical writers assumed many things about reality that modern, Western people do not assume because we've been conditioned by our cultures to assume otherwise.

We're created in God's image, but our souls or spirits are not offshoots of God's own Spirit - as New Age teachers would have us believe.

The idea of having no limits, either through education or money or possessions or power, is radically alien to everything the Bible assumes and says.

If we learn to live with few wants, we shall forever be happy.

When the going gets tough, people bail. When the going gets easy, people get lazy. Honest, smart, hard work is the way to get results.

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind, and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.

The poor will will provide you with what they don't have and what you need. The rich will give you what they have and what you want.

He did not dare to console her, knowing that it would have been like consoling a tiger run thru by a spear.

Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head. ~Garrison Keillor

What for others is style, for me is soul.

Value is the life-giving power of anything; cost, the quantity of labour required to produce it; its price, the quantity of labourwhich its possessor will take in exchange for it.

When the guys come back in from the spacewalk, there really is a distinct smell of space; it's something I will never forget.

I hate to tell people what they should think 'cause I really have an aversion when people tell me what to think.
