It is debatable whether blind faith is truly faith at all. Faith is the perceptive gray area where scientific facts meet an individual’s experiential truths – the extreme of the former is left feeling in...

No man voluntarily expresses his opinion without some intent to make a difference, and even if he does, he shouldn’t.

It can be a good thing if deeper theology, or philosophy, only makes one more uncertain. It may lead to a healthy doubt; he may throw his hands up saying, ‘God, I just don’t know...

Showing a lack of self-control is in the same vein granting authority to others: ‘Perhaps I need someone else to control me.

Love does not dwell on how much one receives in return. If there is ever any balance in love, it is in a contest of who can love who more.

I will never deny that life isn’t fair. It seems as though when a woman leaves a man she is strong and independent, but when a man leaves a woman he is a pig and...

There was a time when skepticism was an act of rebellion. Since to a degree I both believe in evolution and have faith, I can only conclude that, as prophesied, to have faith will someday...

Absurdity is the ecstasy of intellectualism.

It’s simple, it’s not that simple; or life is simple, but the things in it are not. When a man does not understand it, he tends to inflate it. When he does, he tends to...

Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.

The petty man wants to use God for himself; the ambitious man wants God to use him for God.

A poet should be so crafty with words that he is envied even for his pains.

All men are born firstly with the instinct to protect themselves. But few grow to really love themselves, and even fewer learn to love their neighbor as themselves.

The eye of danger and the face of fear are what really pull off a person’s mask.

An artistic perspective will jab at you from a different angle; its logic comes like a pitcher with a curveball.

Part of God’s work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don’t believe simply because...

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as ‘too good to be true.’ They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where...

How to love is the real question. We all know to love and to keep loving more, but man’s confusion comes from the differing opinions on how to love. The Church will always be accused...

The only honorable, desirable kind of fear that shouldn’t be feared is the fear of harm on a loved one. It’s the kind of fear that leads to self-sacrifice and the kind of fear where...

Creative people are often found either disagreeable or intimidating by mediocrities.

I believe God himself will someday debate with and answer every objection arrogant men can come up with against him; I believe he will humble us and humor himself. Know-it-alls, pseudo-intellectuals, militant anti-theists, for Christ’s...

Love in this life is expanded by our anticipation of the next life. Those who love under God are never satisfied with small love, or love bound by the flaws of human emotion. Those who...

Men seek a great deal, but fatally close, albeit very different, is one’s pride in proving oneself right with one’s zeal for finding the truth.

The more we love God, the more unpleasant sin becomes.

One of the biggest contradictions in self-proclaimed open-mindedness is to say that we’re all one but when a true bigot comes around tell him we’re all different. It’s usually the case that neither side is...

At first, they’ll only dislike what you say, but the more correct you start sounding the more they’ll dislike you.

As followers of Christ, we are to be careful not to remain victims of the many cultural presuppositions of who he is, and what he teaches, insofar as taking for granted our own caricatures of...

If you use a philosophy education well, you can get your foot in the door of any industry you please. Industries are like the blossoms on a tree while philosophy is the trunk – it...

To be intuitive is to possess a godly characteristic, to be bad at second-guessing the good.

Christ delves far beyond the means of superficiality, not simply because of his immaculate love, but also because he considers the distinct cases of each individual rather than withholding a broadened perception by use of...

Hopefully, when your actions and deeds – and therefore other people – boast for you, you’re made tired of hearing it, too, from your own mouth because if not, all could lose sight of those...

The Christian does not avoid sin to achieve salvation, but rather salvation brings him to a desire not to sin. The closer that one’s spirit is synchronized with the holy knowledge of God, the more...

There is, after all, no moral difference between the bigot and the tolerator. They are from case to case positive or negative. One man is bigoted because he was given the sword of truth, another...

Usually without realizing it, our ultimate peace starts and ends in the authority of God alone, which means the solution to living in joy, peace, and harmony with our fellow men has been here for...

In societies where coolness and being cool is a top priority, the religious replace the word ‘religious’ with ‘spiritual’ to make their faiths seem less extreme.

The Christian should never have to put others down in order to feel good about himself. Instead, he can simply check out the media’s insistent portrayal of Christianity and feel grateful that he isn’t as...

Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane.

The skeptic says that the believer has lost his own mind under God. On the contrary, it is the people who follow God who are most like his children, who willingly and consciously walk in...

I find it a challenge to cooperate in a society where it’s considered moral to critique a résumé yet immoral to critique morality.

Even though artists of all kinds claim to put their hearts and souls into their works, it will only confuse you, for example, if you try to discern a painter by his paintings. His masterpiece...

God is our final say in who and what’s negative and who and what’s positive in our lives. It is best not to have this so over-simplified as the illusioned superstitionists have it; an infinite...

I am not here to merely argue about the perplexities regarding theism or philosophy, but to be a light to the world and to reach out to those who long to be a part of...

Everyone judges constantly: positively judging one person is the same as negatively judging everyone else; it is to say that that person is superior in some sense.

We often hear about stepping outside ourselves, but rarely about stepping outside our generation.

An insincere critic of a sincere person never wins.

To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates,...

You can’t let the truth bring out the worst and let it get the best of you.

As for those who spite you, and seemingly just because, it’s only evident that they’re learning from you. Maybe you taste bad – kind of like medicine, kind of like truth – and to them,...

The Bible does not say money is the root of all evil; it says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. A poor man who, in his heart, worships the...

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself...
