To grasp love, I must grasp the fact that it is a creation of God and therefore it is forever beyond me. But the very fact that it is forever beyond me is the very thing that prompts me to forever pursue it.

The only ethics that will effectively guide mankind are those that mankind did not create.

It is in embracing an unwavering adherence to Biblical principles that we will find a sustainable argument for the conviction that ‘sacrifice is the only sensible vocation.’ And it is the irresistible nature of that argument that can lift us above the incessantly gnawing desire to make ourselves the only vocation.

If I should be so foolish as to hold ethics as the ignorance of a generation long passed, my life will pass in the ignorance of a generation that handed me what was genius.

Truth is the thing that protects me from chasing the stuff that will rather quickly end up chasing me.

If I possess a conviction that is not firmly grounded in an immovable sense of ethics, morals and values, what I have is a rogue agenda dressed in the finery of a conviction.

Without a firm moral restraint and a bold adherence to principled ethics, nothing within the power of men will save us from the power of mankind.

I often think myself to be so ingenious that I don’t even realize that my own plans may actually be my own undoing. Therefore, I might be wise to realize that God’s plans undo what I’ve done that’s undoing me.

In a relationship with God, our most secret places once thickly cloaked and meticulously hidden away now stand before us utterly and entirely exposed. And it may be that this dreaded fear is the single thing that keeps us an arm’s length from God, and forever a single step away from His blessings.
