“Se puede preguntar por qué Dios no ha creado un mundo en el que su presencia fuera más evidente; por qué Cristo no ha dejado un rastro más brillante de su presencia, que impresionara a cualquiera de manera irresistible. Éste es el misterio de Dios y del hombre que no podemos penetrar. Vivimos en este mundo, en el que Dios no tiene la evidencia de lo palpable, y sólo se le puede buscar y encontrar con el impulso del corazón, a través del «éxodo» de «Egipto». En este mundo hemos de oponernos a las ilusiones de falsas filosofías y reconocer que no sólo vivimos de pan, sino ante todo de la obediencia a la palabra de Dios. Y sólo donde se vive esta obediencia nacen y crecen esos sentimientos que permiten proporcionar también pan para todos.”

“We live in a drug culture! Drugs are everywhere and touted as the panacea for every ailment in our society. We have drugs for hyper children, drugs for depression—some of the most insidious drugs ever—, drugs for allergies, drugs for acne, drugs for emphysema and drugs for erectile disfunction—maybe the most useful of them all. And let’s not forget the side effects of these wonder drugs! It’s cliche to even talk about drug advertisements and the laundry list of side effects tacked onto the end of them, usually rattled off at warp speed by someone on loan from the local auction house. I’ve seen ads for acne medicines that include side effects that are potentially fatal! Seriously? “Hey! Buy our Acne-Magic Drug! You’ll have crystal clear skin! In your coffin!” What the hell is wrong with us?”
