If you do, your problem will be amplified by a sense of loneliness. It’s one thing to face a challenge, but to face it all alone? Isolation creates a downward cycle of fret.” ~ Max Lucado

Tie the label Homo sapiens even to a tiny piece of insensible embryonic tissue, and its life suddenly leaps to infinite, incomputable value…. Self-styled pro-lifers, and others that indulge in footling debates about exactly when in its development a foetus becomes human, exhibit the same discontinuous mentality. Human, to the discontinuous mind, is an absolutist concept. There can be no half measures. And from this flows much evil.” ~ Richard Dawkins

Their ideas suffer from inherent contradictions, and any attempt to put them into practice must produce something utterly different from what they expect.” ~ Friedrich August von Hayek

Food ought not hinder our fellowship with God since it is to be taken purely to preserve the body in health.” ~ Watchman Nee

On the contrary, they travel through this present age in darkness… with… ignorance of God.” ~ Maximus the Confessor
