Quote of the Week: Makoto Fujimura

Deeply engaged reading leads to perceptual awakening, stimulation of the core of the intuitive and experiential...What reading and writing can teach us is a deeper empathy that leads us to desire the best for others who are entirely different from us, and to long to communicate with them.

-Makoto Fujimura, Refractions #26: The Epistle of Van Gogh

Yearning

The beauty and power of logic and poetry penetrates to our very core.
An ancient burning, immanent and transcendent.
Kindled from the beginning by the eternal personal source to whom it calls us home.

Quote of the week: James Orr, Christian View of God and the World

If apologetic is to be spoken of, this surely is the truest and best form of Christian apology—to show that in Christianity, as nowhere else, the severed portions of truth found in all other systems are organically united, while it completes the body of truth by discoveries peculiar to itself.

Hello Sweetie

A man with logic is never at the mercy of a woman with intuition.

Quote of the Week: Blaise Pascal, Pensées

[T]here are two kinds of people one can call reasonable; those who serve God with all their heart because they know Him, and those who seek Him with all their heart because they do not know Him.
