“Sin is more dangerous than wild bears, more deadly than blazing forest fires. Ask Nebuchadnezzar, who lost his mind because he refused to deal with his pride. Ask Samson, who was reduced to a pathetic shred of a man because he never got control over the lusts of his flesh. Ask Achan and Ananias and Sapphira, who all lost their lives over “small,” secret sins.” MenMindAsksLostSinDealsSecretFireDangerousPrideBearsFleshLustForestsPatheticBlazingForest FiresSamson Book:Holiness: The Heart God Purifies Source: Holiness: The Heart God Purifies
“We must bear in mind, then, that there is nothing more difficult and dangerous, or more doubtful of success, than an attempt to introduce a new order of things in any state.

“While the rich reap most of the benefits of technological development, the poor bear an unequal burden of dealing with the consequences of the resulting increased pollution. The poor continue to live in greatest proximity to the sources of pollution, the infrastructure and machinery of industry. They work in the most polluted and physically dangerous workplaces. And these same individuals, living and working closest to the sources of environmental catastrophe, are also the ones most lacking decent health care.” CareIndividualPoorRichDangerousSourceDevelopmentIndustryBearsBenefitsConsequenceEnvironmentalBurdenHealth CareDecentPollutionClosestLackingTechnologicalWorkplaceCatastropheInfrastructureMachineryReapProximityTechnological Development Author:James H.

“A bear and a deer are both wild animals. We allow the deer to roam in our backyard but we do not give the same right to the bear. It is because the bear is dangerous.
