Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.

A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.

People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.

Pictures and shapes are but secondary objects and please or displease only in the memory.

Religion is faith. Faith is belief without evidence. Belief without evidence cannot be shared. Faith is a feeling. Love is also a feeling, but love makes no universal claims. Love is pure.

Sects and 'isms' have branched out in one direction and another, but still Jesus from the invisible worlds enfolds in his love all the Sons of Seth who will call upon his name by faith, and he will eventually unite the scattered churches in the Kingdom of Christ.

For me, church was about not only religion but about community. A woman in my grandmother's church helped pay for my SAT classes when I was in high school and drove me there every week.

The whole point of the kingdom of God is Jesus has come to bear witness to the true truth, which is nonviolent. When God wants to take charge of the world, he doesn't send in the tanks. He sends in the poor and the meek.
