A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word "darkness" on the walls of his cell." - C.S. Lewis


"Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies, or else? The chain reaction of evil, hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars, must be broken or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. And when you stop expecting material possessions to complete you, you'd be surprised at how much pleasure you get in material possessions. And when you stop expecting God to end all your troubles, you'd be surprised how much you like spending time with God.

For those of you who may be afraid to set foot in a Church, let me clarify for you, no matter what you have done in the past, God still loves you! He'll forgive you if you just ask! And don't you worry about the other people in church... they need God's grace just as much as you do. There isn't even one in the room at any church you go to who doesn't struggle with temptation or give in to sin every once and a while (unless you go to a funeral, in which case the dead guy up front's struggle with temptation and sin is now over).
