More From Marian Wright Edelman

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.

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.

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning. she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. promise of a better day. promise of a greater hope. promise of a new tomorrow. this particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. in her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay.
Beautiful Girl Morning
We (christians) are always in the presence of god. there is never a non-sacred moment! his presence never diminishes. our awareness of his presence may falter, but the reality of his presence never changes.
Christian Reality May
When you say 'yes' or promise something, you can very easily deceive yourself and others also, as if you had already done what you promised. it is easy to think that by making a promise you have at least done part of what you promised to do, as if the promise itself were something of value. not at all! in fact, when you do not do what you promise, it is a long way back to the truth.

You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all christians are fundamentalists. we have our share of them (fundamentalists). all religions have these little groups.

You are a christian only so long as you constantly pose critical questions to the society you live in, so long as you stay unsatisfied with the status quo, and keep saying that a new world is yet to come.
