Quotes edit see section history

• “The Bible reminds us that God has spoken to us in numerous ways. Not only has He spoken in the written Word and in the consummate expression of His own Son, but also in the steady unfolding of the drama of history. In fact, His voice is also heard in periods that seem to be silent or in ways that seem unpretentious. We mistakenly limit God’s involvement in our lives to the spectacular or the sudden. In the coinage of current aphorisms, we have ascribed only the destructive (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes) to “acts of God” and have missed the gracious voice that has beckoned humanity since the days of our creation. It may well be that His care and keeping are most powerfully demonstrated during those times in the life of an individual or nation when everything seems to be ordinary.”

• Secularization left society without shame and with no point of reference for decency, and pluralization left society without reason and with no point of reference for rationality. Privatization-born from the union of the other two-has left people without meaning and with no point of reference for life's coherence.

• Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it. (Hag. i:5-6)
