Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. while he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. they are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—society, the state, the government, the commune—must give it to them. let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
