“Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.” MenLightLawPurposeChristLossPowerfulAcceptingTakenGraceSeriousHolyWeaponsGainsGuiltConvictionConversionPerceiveSinnerMost PowerfulDeprivedLikelihoodPowerful Weapons Author:Charles Spurgeon
“Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault?” MenMadeDoneHandsDifficultWealthPowerfulNumbersTechnologyClearGrowingCreationClothesWeaponsGainsBuiltDestructionMachinesFaultsEnvironmentalDrivingDamageSurroundChemicalsMagnificentAssaultGreedyPackagesAccumulationNeatEcosystemsFiberInterconnected Author:Barry Commoner

“Everything we've done has been designed to make sure that we address that number one priority. That's what the sanctions regime was all about. That's how we were able to mobilize the international community, including some folks that we are not particularly close to, to abide by these sanctions.
