April 18th, 2006 | by Scott |“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” Anne Lamott (Note: If you haven’t read Traveling Mercies, what are you waiting for?)
“The best argument for Christianity is Christians: their joy, their certainty, their completeness. But the strongest argument against Christianity is also Christians, when they are somber and joyless, when they are self-righteous and smug in complacent consecration, when they are narrow and repressive, then Christianity dies a thousand deaths.” Joe Aldrich
“Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.” Walter Hilton
“Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.” G.K. Chesterton
