Quotes I Love…
“The place where God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
~ Frederick Buechner
“If we have a voice we should use it… the Word we revere is not found in a book but in a voice. Our shared witness to what is true, what is good, what is right makes a difference. The prophetic is not the partisan. It is the universal cry of the common person speaking truth to power. It is the vision of community translated into the language of change. To be silent is to be silenced.”
~ Bp. Steven Charleston, Hope as Old as Fire
“…present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
~ Romans 12:1b-2, ESV
“Justice is what love sounds like when it speaks in public.”
~ Michael Eric Dyson, Tears we Cannot Stop
(mentioned in one of my sermons, here.)
“God has given to the earth the breath that feeds it. God’s breath vibrates in yours, in your voice. It is the breath of God that you breathe.”
~ Theophilus of Antioch
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
~ Eden Ahbez, “Nature Boy”
