“For they (capitalists) hold as their chief heresy, in a coarser form, the fundamental falsehood that things are not made to be used but made to be sold. All the collapse of their commercial system in their own time has been due to that fallacy of forcing things on a market where there was no market; of continually increasing the power of supply without increasing the power of demand; of briefly, of always considering the man who sells the potato and never considering the man who eats it.” MenHas BeensMadeFormUsedHe ManDemandFundamentalsSellsDuesChiefsCapitalistCollapseFalsehoodConsumerismConsideringPotatoesHeresyFallacyOverconsumption Author:Gilbert K.

“Let no one imagine that he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to his God. He does not by this degrade himself as a man; rather he finds his right place of high honor as one made in the image of his Creator. His deep disgrace lay in his moral derangement, his unnatural usurpation of the place of God. His honor will be proved by restoring again that stolen throne. In exalting God over all, he finds his own highest honor upheld.” MenHumansDoeMadeLosesMoralImagineHonorHighestDignitySellsLaysCreatorImagine ThatThronesStolenDiscipleshipDisgraceRight PlaceUnnaturalHuman DignityDegradeRestoringUsurpation Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
