More From Donald Miller

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
When one gives up the christian faith, one pulls the right to christian morality out from under one's feet. this morality is by no means self-evident. christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. by breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in god, one breaks the whole. it stands or falls with faith in god.
Christian Giving Up Fall
Christians have always tended to transform the christian revelation into a christian religion. christianity is said to be a religion like any other or, conversely, some christians try to show that it is a better religion than the others. people attempt to take possession of god. theology claims to explain everything, including the being of god. people tend to transform christianity into a religion because the christian faith obviously places people in an extremely uncomfortable position ­ that of freedom guided only by love and all in the context of god's radical demand that we be holy.
Christian People Religion
A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.
Girl Christian Teacher
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
How can we find spiritual meaning in a scientific worldview? spirituality is a way of being in the world, a sense of one’s place in the cosmos, a relationship to that which extends beyond oneself. . . . does scientific explanation of the world diminish its spiritual beauty? i think not. science and spirituality are complementary, not conflicting; additive, not detractive. anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. science does this in spades. (158-159)

Similar Quotes
In the civil society, the individual is recognized and accepted as more than an abstract statistic or faceless member of some group; rather, he is a unique, spiritual being with a soul and a conscience.
Spiritual Unique Soul
Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. when the illustrious buddha taught about the world, he had to divide it into samsara and nirvana, illusion and truth, into suffering and salvation. one cannot do otherwise, there is no other method for those who teach. but the world itself, being in and around us, is never one-sided. never is a man or a deed wholly samsara or wholly nirvana; never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. this only seems so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real.
Spiritual Real Men
Sadly, many individuals don't know where to find god, and exclude him from their lives. when spiritual needs arise, they may look to the left, the right, or round about. but looking to other people on the same level cannot satisfy spiritual shortages. when the immortal spirit is starved, hunger persists for something more filling. even when material success comes, there is a hollow ache - if living well falls short of living worthily. inner peace cannot be found in affluence accompanied by spiritual privation.
Spiritual Fall People
When, as president joseph f. smith said, we "catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, "let us be quietly grateful. when of great truths we can say "i know," that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. with rediscovery, we are really saying "i know - again!"
