More From Andre Gide

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.

God cannot be represented by an image. we ought not to think that the godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. we wrong god, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. god honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours god if he makes him after the likeness of his body. the godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of god.

It was the greatest honor god did to man that he made man in the image of god; but it is the greatest dishonor man has done to god that he has made god in the image of man.

As she watched him she understood the quality of his beauty. how his labor had shaped him. how the wood he fashioned had fashioned him. each plank he planed, each nail he drove, each thing he made molded him. had left its stamp on him. had given him his strength, his supple grace.

For all its peculiarities and unevenness, the bible has a simple story. god made man. man rejected god. god won't give up until he wins him back. god will whisper. he will shout. he will touch and tug. he will take away our burdens; he'll even take away our blessings. if there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. but he will leave the final one for us. the choice is ours. please understand. his goal is not to make you happy. his goal is to make you his. his goal is not to get you what you want; it is to get you what you need.

Is a christian- one who communicates daily with the creator- to divorce himself from the things god created and intended man to have, and which demonstrate the fact that man has been made in the image of god? in other words, are we who have been made in the image of our creator to be less creative than those who do not know the creator? the christian should have more vividly expressed creativity in his daily life.

America's cultural table is set by the people living in the three bubbles - new york washington d.c. and hollywood.

I work within the framework of a very concerted, purely driven protestant christian mindset. i had dark early circumstances. i went inward. i have a sturdy will. i have a big heart. i'm a decent guy. and i have a great gift. it's blunted me to the world in many ways.

I know not a better rule of reading the scripture, than to read it through from beginning to end and when we have finished it once, to begin it again. we shall meet with many passages which we can make little improvement of, but not so many in the second reading as in the first, and fewer in the third than in the second: provided we pray to him who has the keys to open our understandings, and to anoint our eyes with his spiritual ointment.

I am indebted to my wife coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. she has given me words of consolation when i needed them and a well-ordered home where #christian love is a reality.
