“This
century will be called Darwin's century. He was one of the greatest men who
ever touched this globe. He has explained more of the phenomena of life than
all of the religious teachers. Write the name of Charles Darwin on the one hand
and the name of every theologian who ever lived on the other, and from that
name has come more light to the world than from all of those. His doctrine of
evolution, his doctrine of the survival of the fittest, his doctrine of the
origin of species, has removed in every thinking mind the last vestige of
orthodox Christianity. He has not only stated, but he has demonstrated, that
the inspired writer knew nothing of this world, nothing of the origin of man,
nothing of geology, nothing of astronomy, nothing of nature; that the Bible is
a book written by ignorance--at the instigation of fear. Think of the men who
replied to him. Only a few years ago there was no person too ignorant to
successfully answer Charles Darwin, and the more ignorant he was the more
cheerfully he undertook the task. He was held up to the ridicule, the scorn and
contempt of the Christian world, and yet when he died, England was proud to put
his dust with that of her noblest and her grandest. Charles Darwin conquered
the intellectual world, and his doctrines are now accepted facts. His light has
broken in on some of the clergy, and the greatest man who to-day occupies the
pulpit of one of the orthodox churches, Henry Ward Beecher, is a believer in
the theories of Charles Darwin--a man of more genius than all the clergy of
that entire church put together.
...The
church teaches that man was created perfect, and that for six thousand years he
has degenerated. Darwin demonstrated the falsity of this dogma. He shows that
man has for thousands of ages steadily advanced; that the Garden of Eden is an
ignorant myth; that the doctrine of original sin has no foundation in fact;
that the atonement is an absurdity; that the serpent did not tempt, and that
man did not 'fall.'
Charles
Darwin destroyed the foundation of orthodox Christianity. There is nothing left
but faith in what we know could not and did not happen. Religion and science
are enemies. One is a superstition; the other is a fact. One rests upon the
false, the other upon the true. One is the result of fear and faith, the other
of investigation and reason.”

Anonymous, The Pocket Companion Bible: NKJV
“The
Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration,
inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in
authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in
totality. Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, and then
pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It brings into man the personality of
God; it changes the man until he becomes the epistle of God. It transforms his
mind, changes his character, takes him on from grace to grace, and gives him an
inheritance in the Spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through,
and sups with him.”

“It
is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the
Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to
correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more
arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over
God but under Him.”

“There's
a lovely Hasidic story of a rabbi who always told his people that if they
studied the Torah, it would put Scripture on their hearts. One of them asked,
"Why on our hearts, and not in them?" The rabbi answered, "Only
God can put Scripture inside. But reading sacred text can put it on your heart,
and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside.”

“My
son, do not forget my teaching,
But
let your heart keep my commandments;
For length
of days and years of life
And
peace they will add to you.
Do
not let kindness and truth leave
you;
Bind
them around your neck,
Write
them on the tablet of your heart.
So
you will find favor and good repute
In
the sight of God and man.
Trust
in the Lord with all your heart
And do
not lean on your own understanding.
In
all your ways acknowledge Him,
And
He will make your paths straight.”

“Jerusalem!
My Love, My Town
I
wept until my tears were dry
I
prayed until the candles flickered
I
knelt until the floor creaked
I
asked about Mohammed and Christ
Oh
Jerusalem, the fragrance of prophets
The
shortest path between earth and sky
Oh
Jerusalem, the citadel of laws
A
beautiful child with fingers charred
and
downcast eyes
You
are the shady oasis passed by the Prophet
Your
streets are melancholy
Your
minarets are mourning
You,
the young maiden dressed in black
Who
rings the bells at the Nativity Church,
On
sunday morning?
Who
brings toys for the children
On
Christmas eve?
Oh
Jerusalem, the city of sorrow
A
big tear wandering in the eye
Who
will halt the aggression
On
you, the pearl of religions?
Who
will wash your bloody walls?
Who
will safeguard the Bible?
Who
will rescue the Quran?
Who
will save Christ, From those who have killed Christ?
Who
will save man?
Oh
Jerusalem my town
Oh
Jerusalem my love
Tomorrow
the lemon trees will blossom
And
the olive trees will rejoice
Your
eyes will dance
The
migrant pigeons will return
To
your sacred roofs
And
your children will play again
And
fathers and sons will meet
On
your rosy hills
My
town
The
town of peace and olives”

wish I could say this journey is an easy one. It’s not. As easy as it is to
fall in love, it takes effort to make a relationship grow, to continue making
the effort to connect, to speak and to listen.”
