Albert Einstein said, "God does not play dice
with the world."
Jesus said to pray this prayer,
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Plato
Personal virtue consists in a harmonious relation among the three
parts of the soul: reason, emotion, and desire. Social justice likewise
consists in harmony among the classes of society. The ideal state
of a sound mind in a sound body requires that the intellect control
the desires and passions, as the ideal state of society requires
that the wisest individuals rule the pleasure-seeking masses.

All knowledge and wisdom comes from God. The One Holy God is beyond
understanding and is the source of everything we know and that exists.
ENCARTA: Astronomers measure time from the big bang. As far as we
know, time started and space originated in the big bang. So there
was no "before the big bang." The universe simply did
not exist. © 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
God is not interested in organized religion, Catholic or Protestant.
He is interested only in what we are. RICHARD OWEN ROBERTS (1931-
)
Religion that is merely ritual and ceremonial can never satisfy.
Neither can we be satisfied by a religion that is merely humanitarian
or serviceable to mankind. Man's craving is for the spiritual. SAMUEL
M. SHOEMAKER (1893-1963)
We are allowing too many rivals of God. We actually have too many
gods. We have too many irons in the fire. We have too much theology
that we don't understand. We have too much churchly institutionalism.
We have too much religion. Actually, I guess we just have too much
of too much! A. W. TOZER (1897-1963)
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship him
than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word darkness
on the walls of his cell. C. S. LEWIS (1898-1963)
God is looking for worshipers. And if the religious elite are too
proud or too busy to learn to worship him, he seeks the worship
of those whose lives are trapped in moral ruin. Erwin W. Lutzer
(1941- )
How often Christians assume they have worshiped God simply because
they have been in church! We are told that the church building is
"God's house" (an inaccurate designation borrowed from
the Old Testament temple) and conclude that worship must take place
there! Not necessarily. God was not pleased with the worship at
Jerusalem (the Holy City). Nor is he impressed with beautiful cathedrals.
Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- )
In its early stages, science seemed at odds with religion; but this
was merely a token of its immaturity. The more familiar story is
that of scientists who become increasingly aware of the mystery
of the universe and come to religion through knowledge of the limitations
of science. Indeed, how can those who play with the building blocks
of the universe, its atoms and electrons and genes, fail to be touched
by awe? Every victory of science reveals more clearly a divine design
in nature, a remarkable conformity in all things, from the infinitesimal
to the infinite. DAVID SARNOFF (1891-1971)
One thing I have learned in a long life-that all
our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike.
ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955)
