Purpose Chance Foolishness
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.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.

Through plato, aristotle came to believe in god; but plato never attempted to prove his reality. aristotle had to do so. plato contemplated him; aristotle produced arguments to demonstrate him. plato never defined him; but aristotle thought god through logically, and concluded with entire satisfaction to himself that he was the unmoved mover.
Plato Believe Reality
Intellectually i touched god many times as truth and emotionally i touched god as love. i touched god as goodness. i touched god as kindness. it came to me that god is a creative force, a motivating power, an over-all intelligence, an ever-present, all pervading spirit - which binds everything in the universe together and gives life to everything. that brought god close. i could not be where god is not. you are within god. god is within you.
Kindness Giving Creative
I want to take the word christianity back to christ himself, back to that mighty heart whose pulse seems to throb through the world today, that endless fountain of charity out of which i believe has come all true progress and all civilization that deserves the name. i go back to that great spirit which contemplated a sacrifice for the whole of humanity. that sacrifice is not one of exclusion, but of an infinite and endless and joyous inclusion. and i thank god for it.
