Most of our fears are borrowed. Since that’s the case, we should get busy returning them.
— Craig D. LounsbroughI feel strongly that Christians have a scriptural mandate to love and care for all the people of the world. Even those who are living in immoral circumstances are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. There is no place for hatred, hurtful jokes, or other forms of rejecting towards those who are gay.
— James C. DobsonRejecting people for who and what they are will not make you a better, more 'righteous' or more 'moral' person - than the other person, or even in your own right - in fact, if that's why you're doing it, it is far more likely to do the opposite.
— Christina EngelaRejecting sin is not a burden; on the contrary, it brings freedom and relief.
— Sunday AdelajaHuman history is the ancient story of the umbilical conflict between a lone individual versus a cabalistic society. A love-hate relationship defines our personal history with society, where the suppression of individuality for the sake of the collective good battles the notion that the purpose of society is to enable each person to flourish. A conspicuous feature of cultural development involves societies teaching children the sublimation of unacceptable impulses or idealizations, consciously to transform their inappropriate instinctual impulses into socially acceptable actions or behavior. The paradox rest in the concept that in order for any person to flourish they must preserve the spiritual texture of themselves, a process that requires the individual to resist societal restraint, push off against the community, and reject the walls of traditionalism that seek to pen us in. The climatic defining event in a person’s life represents the liberation of the self from crippling conformism, staunchly rebuffing capitulating to the whimsy of the super ego of society.
— Kilroy J. OldsterRejecting your gay or transgender child won't make them straight. It will only mean you will lose them.
— Christina EngelaMy first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be. The blatant discrepancy which is certain to ensue then allows me to not only justify my rejection of Him, it grants me unbridled permission to discount His existence altogether. And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all.
— Craig D. LounsbroughThe key for having success is totally rejecting thoughts that try to sow doubts into your conscience.
— Sunday AdelajaI have often felt that when an Atheist asks 'Where is your God?' it means even he has an innermost desire to see 'The One' whom he has been rejecting all his life and when an unbeliever asks 'Where is your God?' it means he is fed-up with the hand crafted God he has been meaninglessly serving all his life and in his heart even he wants to see the wonder working true living God in all His glory.
