“The resurrection is not a static and an isolated event fixed in the past, but the unleashing of a power and force that takes the form of a death defying love. Resurrection is ever present, constantly accosting us, challenging us, stretching us, cracking us open and seeking to have its way with us in order that we might come to maturity in Christ.” WayMightPastFormOrderForceChristChallengesEventsSeekingMaturityFixedResurrectionIsolatedStretchingStaticDefyingUnleashing Author:Frank Griswold
“Today, every principle of identity is affected by fashion, precisely because of its potential to revert all forms to non-origin and recurrence. Fashion is always retro, but always on the basis of the abolition of the passé (the past): the spectral death and resurrection of forms. Its proper actuality (its 'up-to-dateness', its 'relevance') is not a reference to the present, but an immediate and total recycling.” TodayPastFormPrinciplesFashionIdentityBasesAffectedResurrectionRelevanceAbolitionRecyclingActualityRetroRecurrence Book:Symbolic Exchange and Death Source: Symbolic Exchange and Death
“Basically, I don't ever move too far past the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, because it's of first importance. And I make sure it's of first importance with anyone I'm talking to. It all comes down to that, really, when you get right down to it. So it's not complex. Jesus removed our sins and guarantees we can be raised from the dead.” FirstsPastMovingJesusSinTalkingImportanceRaisedComplexesGuaranteesResurrectionBurialJesus Resurrection Author:Phil Robertson
“The Past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the Future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. The Past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the Future is, in all things, our friend. In the Past is no hope; The Future is both hope and fruition. The Past is the text-book of tyrants; the Future is the Bible of the Free. Those who are solely governed by the Past stand like Lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.” BookPastForeverWifeMankindAll ThingsTyrantsResurrectionAnticipationLooking BackIncapableFoeNo HopeFruition Book:Delphi Complete Works of Herman Melville (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Herman Melville (Illustrated)
