Learning to create is essential, necessary, vital & fundamental. It is the centrepiece in which you create the life that you really want
God desires from you the least degree of purity of conscience more than all the works you can perform.
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.
Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.
Faith is the union of God and the soul.
So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.
Surfers are the ‘throw-aheads’ of mankind, not the dregs; they aren’t the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of ‘be here now’, and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man.
For Paul 'righteousness' and 'justice' are the same word, as they were in Hebrew. Paul clearly believes that helping the poor is a central and ongoing part of Christian commitment, precisely because in Jesus Christ God has unveiled and launched his plan for the rescue, redemption and renewal of the whole creation. Justification and justice go very closely together.
Public action should seek to expand the set of opportunities of those who have the least voice and fewest resources and capabilities.
