“Human life is but of brief duration. 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever' (Isa. 40:6, 8). Let us hold fast to the commandment that abides, and despise the unreality that passes away.” HumansChristianLife IsForeverFieldsFlowerFleshHuman LifeGrassOrthodoxDespiseFadesCommandmentsOrthodox ChristianPassing AwayDurationHold FastUnreality Author:Saint Basil
“I do not believe in a God who would set up rules and commandments only to wait for us to fail so He could punish us. I believe in a Heavenly Father who is loving and caring and who rejoices in our every effort to stand tall and walk toward Him. Even when we stumble, He urges us not to be discouraged-never to give up or flee our allotted field of service-but to take courage, find our faith, and keep trying.” LoveGivingTryingBelieveGodCareChristianFaithFatherBeliefI BelieveWaitingReligiousWalksEffortChristianityCourageFailingFieldsFailureGiving UpI Believe InCaringPunishmentGod LoveHeavenlyUrgesTallRejoiceCommandmentsNot Giving UpNever Giving UpDiscouragedKeep TryingHeavenly FatherStumblingFleeing Author:Dieter F.

“The most beautiful conception of immortality of which I know, and certainly one that by contrast shows the utter vulgarity of Christian ideas, is set forth in Pindar's second Olympian: after three or six lives in which a man has lived with strict justice and perfect integrity, he passes beyond the tower of Cronus to the fair realm that cannot be reached by land or sea, where gentle breezes from a placid ocean blow forever on the fields of asphodel. For a description, see Pindar.

“There are, occasionally, writers who are able to combine both story and style. They are, of course, the best. You get a spectacular view and you also get to look at it from the backseat of a chauffeur-driven Cadillac. In the field of fantasy, those writers able to combine story-as-narration with story-as-style are even rarer. But there are a few...the late Theodore Sturgeon, the early Ray Bradbury...and Richard Christian Matheson.

“Even if 80 percent of the population of a country are Christian believers, they will have almost no cultural influence if the Christians do not live in cultural centers and work in culture-forging fields such as academia, publishing, media, entertainment, and the arts.

“The nature of men and of organized society dictates the maintenance in every field of action of the highest and purest standards of justice and of right dealing.... By justice the lawyer generally means the prompt, fair, and open application of impartial rules; but we call ours a Christian civilization, and a Christian conception of justice must be much higher. It must include sympathy and helpfulness and a willingness to forego self-interest in order to promote the welfare, happiness, and contentment of others and of the community as a whole.” MenMeanSelfWholeActionChristianOrderInterestCommunityJusticeFieldsHigherCivilizationHighestStandardsFairsLawyerWelfareOrganizedContentmentWillingnessConceptionApplicationSelf InterestMaintenancePromptsNature Of ManHelpfulness Author:Woodrow Wilson
