“A lost sheep is, for all practical purposes a dead sheep. It is the admission that we are dead in our sins---that we have no power of ourselves either to save ourselves or to convince anyone else that we are worth saving. It is the recognition that our whole life is out of our hands and that if we ever live again, our life will be entirely the gift of some gracious shepherd. God finds us the desert of death (not in the garden of improvement) and in the power of Jesus' resurrection, he puts us on his shoulders rejoicing and brings us home.” IfsWholeHomeHandsLife IsPurposeJesusLostSinOur LivesGardenWhole LifeImprovementPracticalsShouldersSavingRecognitionDesertConvinceRejoiceResurrectionSheepGraciousShepherdsAdmissionJesus Resurrection Author:Robert Farrar Capon
“Faith is the backbone of the social and the foundation of the commercial fabric; remove faith between man and man, and society and commerce fall to pieces.

“Whether you interpret the Bible as literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity has given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our culture around.

“There are some places which, seen for the first time, yet seem to strike a chord of recollection. "I have been here before," we think to ourselves, "and this is one of my true homes." It is no mystery for those philosophers who hold that all which we shall see, with all which we have seen and are seeing, exists already in an eternal now; that all those places are home to us which in the pattern of our life are twisting, in past, present and future, tendrils of remembrance round our heart-strings.” ThinkingFirstsHeartHas BeensHomeSeemsPastOur LivesSeeingMysteryEternalFirst TimeRoundsPatternsPhilosopherStrikesStringsRemembranceChordsRecollectionPast PresentPast Present And FutureTrue HomeHeart Strings Author:E.
