'Heard: The Week in Quotes (vol 3)

"Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ"

-- Ephesians

And now, three from one:

"What the age needs is not a genius — it has had geniuses enough, but a martyr, who in order to teach men to obey would himself be obedient unto death. What the age needs is awakening. And therefore someday, not only my writings but my whole life, all the intriguing mystery of the machine will be studied and studied. I never forget how God helps me and it is therefore my last wish that everything may be to his honour."

"Let others complain that the times are wicked. I complain that they are paltry; for they are without passion. ...The thoughts of their hearts are too puny to be sinful. For a worm it might conceivably be regarded a sin to harbor thoughts such as theirs, not for a man who is formed in the image of God."

"The thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. "

-- Kierkegaard

Peace, love, and joy to you all.
