“Joy comes through service. Most Christians are activists--they get caught up in some kind of church work. But not all of it is good. Not all of it is essential. Even missionaries find themselves tangled in lesser things than winning the lost. Unprayerful souls soon get diverted from the supreme task he appointed for them. This is why submission is also necessary.”

“The notion that evil is non-rational is a more significant claim for Eagleton than at first appears, because he is (in this book [On Evil] as in others of his recent 'late period' prolific burst) anxious to rewrite theology: God (whom he elsewhere tells us is nonexistent, but this is no barrier to his being lots of other things for Eagleton too, among them Important) is not to be regarded as rational: with reference to the Book of Job Eagleton says, 'To ask after God's reasons for allowing evil, so [some theologians] claim, is to imagine him as some kind of rational or moral being, which is the last thing he is.' This is priceless: with one bound God is free of responsibility for 'natural evil'—childhood cancers, tsunamis that kill tens of thousands—and for moral evil also even though 'he' is CEO of the company that purposely manufactured its perpetrators; and 'he' is incidentally exculpated from blame for the hideous treatment meted out to Job.”

“That moment when you desperately needed someone...but the world pushed you aside. That moment when you desperately wanted an understanding shoulder...but remained left aside....For those caught up in the fog of wanting and forsakenness...For them are these words of mine....Gaze at the dawn that makes you halt in the middle of racing thoughts....Be bewildered ...at how the meadows hold so many flowers...Delve into a book that takes you to another world....for they will come with arms around your shoulder when it is shaky...My friends...they are the bringers of light...”

“If you take someone’s happiness and laughter away, expect yours to be taken. If you disrespect someone who doesn’t desire it, then expect to be disrespected. If you judge behind someone’s back, expect judgment of yourself while you’re not around. If you insult people then expect to be insulted. What ever we send out will return to us. Kindness and understanding will always be a pinnacle in our lives.”
