THE SHOOTINGS IN SCHOOLS

Your world seems a bit darker this Christmas.  But you were born in the dark, right? You came at night. The shepherds were nightshift workers. The Wise Men followed a star. Your first cries were heard in the shadows. To see your face, Mary and Joseph needed a candle flame. It was dark. Dark with Herod’s jealousy. Dark with Roman oppression. Dark with poverty.  Dark with violence. Herod went on a rampage, killing babies. Joseph took you and your mom into Egypt. You were an immigrant before you were a Nazarene. Oh, Lord Jesus, you entered the dark world of your day. Won’t you enter ours? We are weary of bloodshed. We, like the wise men, are looking for a star. We, like the shepherds, are kneeling at a manger. This Christmas, we ask you, heal us, help us, be born anew in us. - Max Lucado

MAN'S TRUE IMPORTANCE

"Christianity does not involve the belief that all things were made for man. It does involve the belief that God loves man and for his sake became man and died." CS Lewis in ~ Miracles

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

DO-IT-YOURSELF CHRISTIANITY

"Do-it-yourself Christianity is not very much encouragement to the done-in and worn-out." - Max Lucado

YOU ARE A SOUL

"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." C.S. Lewis

REAL LIFE

"The truth is, what we call interruptions are precisely our real life, the life God is sending us day by day."
- C.S. Lewis

FAITH AND REASON

"Can man live without God? Of course he can, in a physical sense. Can he live without God in a reasonable way? The answer to that is No!"

—Ravi Zacharias, Can Man Live Without God

DIGNITY OF HUMAN LIFE

"The dignity of human life is unbreakeably linked to the existence of the personal-infinite God. It is because there is a personal-infinite God who has made men and women in His own image that they have a unique dignity of life as human beings." ~Francis Schaeffer
