“Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal 'security,' those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists - they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.” WayTryingLooksLongTodayPastViewsSecuritySolutionsIdeologyInwardStaticExaggerated Book:My Door Is Always Open: A Conversation on Faith, Hope and the Church in a Time of Change Source: My Door Is Always Open: A Conversation on Faith, Hope and the Church in a Time of Change
“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
“Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. Learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. Learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.” IfsPastMovingKnowledgeLearningTakenLimitsActiveCeaseTiesAbout YourselfAccumulationStaticLearning KnowledgeLearning About Yourself Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
