'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue.

Thomas Campbell

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.

Thomas Jefferson

Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.

Titus Livius

If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.

Vaclav Havel

He that has seen both sides of fifty has lived to little purpose if he has no other views of the world than he had when he was much younger.

William Cowper

I can tell you how to get what you want: You've just got to keep a thing in view and go for it and never let your eyes wander to right or left or up or down. And looking back is fatal.

William J. Locke

The bible views alcohol the same way it does money. It is the obsession that ruins us.

Brett Blair

The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.

C. S. Lewis

Faith is not a distant view but a warm embrace of Christ.

John Calvin

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am aware that there are many who wince at a distinction between property and persons who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid. A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

4562. A Cure for Complainers

Exodus 16:1-36

Sermon

King Duncan

... that spider. Now, was the spider building a web in front of his hiding place a coincidence or Divine providence? Did the spider simply happen along to build its web or was it guided by a Divine impulse? Each of us must decide for himself or herself how we view life. When you had that bad accident and walked away unscathed, did you say, “Thank God!” or did you say, “Wow, I was lucky that time?” Life is a matter of interpretation, but the person who sees the gracious hand of God at work is in far less ...

... cliff when he noticed that the rope was old and frayed. With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope. The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, "Whenever it breaks." Note: The monastery can be viewed here.

4564. It's Not A 50-50

Illustration

Jeanette Lauer

Contrary to current theories, happy couples don't express anger freely, don't see marriage as a 50-50 proposition, don't think separate interests are as important as shared activities. They do view their partners as their best friends, regard marriage as a sacred, long-term commitment, agree on aims and goals in life.

4565. Your Share

Illustration

Staff

A socialist once came to see Andrew Carnegie and soon was railing against the injustice of Carnegie having so much money. In his view, wealth was meant to be divided equally. Carnegie asked his secretary for an assessment of everything he owned and at the same time looked up the figures on world population. He did a little arithmetic on a pad and then said to his secretary. "Give this gentleman 16 cents. That's his share of my wealth."

... startlingly confession, or at least it appears to be a confession. It is generally thought that the character Mr. Britling is a surrogate for Wells. The character expresses a simple but clear faith, leaving no doubt as to the meaning. At first, his religious views are passionate, but not strictly orthodox. Mr. Britling makes this confession, giving us a window into Wells' on beliefs: "Religion is the first thing and the last thing, and until a  man has found God and been found by God, he begins at no ...

Matthew 15:21-28

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... into the story, into the role of apprentice, into Jesus’ teachable moment, and you will find yourself stunned and your worldview changed, just as theirs was changed. For change, real change, the kind of heart shift that changes your whole world view, doesn’t happen by reading a manual. It only happens when you experience first-hand, a life-altering experience. This is a true apprenticeship event. This is true discipleship learning. Let’s read through the scripture again carefully, paying close ...

Sermon

Ron Love

... robe, bound neck and wrist in rope. At the base of the painting was the inscription, “I have done this for you — now what will you do for me?” The young count was profoundly moved. He felt he was embracing a mystical experience while viewing the painting. Nicolaus felt as if Christ himself was speaking those words directly to his own soul. He vowed that day to dedicate his life to the service of Jesus. Reflecting on the transformation of his character von Zinzendorf wrote, “I have loved him for ...

Matthew 22:15-22

Sermon

King Duncan

Let’s talk about leadership for a few moments. It is an important subject in today’s world. There is a professor from University College London who has written many books on personality and leadership. And he has some strong views concerning incompetent leaders. He says incompetent leaders create a toxic corporate culture that drags everybody in their sphere of influence down. And he claims that the number one trait that incompetent leaders possess is arrogance. According to this professor’s studies ...

King Duncan

... exciting trip, he discovered that he’d been pointing the camera in the wrong direction the whole time. Instead of filming the lights and sounds of the Las Vegas Strip, he filmed close-ups of his own face the whole time. Over 10 million people viewed the man’s failed attempt at vacation filming when his son uploaded the footage to the Internet. (3) The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were like that dad: they were pointing their attention in the wrong direction. Jesus was saying here, “If you knew God ...

1 John 2:28--3:10

Sermon

King Duncan

... Father might not sound like a revelation to us. But this Bible passage we’re studying today was written to a diverse group of believers all throughout the Roman Empire. And many of these believers had been brought up with an entirely different view of God. According to historian and archeologist Paul Veyne, Roman fathers in Jesus’ day were allowed to decide whether their newborn children lived or died. After a Roman baby was born, the father examined the child for signs of health and robustness. And ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... living with Zacharias and Elizabeth. Indeed, Elizabeth was the first person in the Scriptures to declare that Jesus is Lord. You will find the story in the first chapter of Luke. As you are aware, we know very little about Jesus’ childhood. However, in view of Mary and Elizabeth’s close relationship, can we not speculate that young John and his six-month younger cousin Jesus spent a great deal of time together? Perhaps they played together and fished together and did all the things young men like to ...

Matthew 20:1-16

Sermon

Roy Howard

... . They are taking our jobs. They are breaking the law. Build a bigger, better fence. We built this country; they are freeloaders. Several congregations of Christians along the border of Texas have decided there is a different calculus to measure virtue. They began to view life from the perspective of those who are last, lost, and lonely. They began to imagine what it might be like to be desperate enough to send your children to a better life than your own. From that perspective, which is impossible to gain ...

Sermon

Albert G. Butzer III

... were saying, “You can have all of me, Jesus, except this arm that holds my sword. I can’t give that over to the Prince of Peace, since I will need to call upon that sword in battle.” They were living according to a compartmentalized view of life. Remember, like David Brinkman, the software engineer from South Carolina, we have royal blood running through our veins. Therefore, there is nothing that we should with- hold from Christ, for we have been stamped with God’s own image. Amen. 1. Jeff Hampton ...

When they had finished their research, they came to this conclusion: “The most prevalent cause of conflict among Presbyterians is related to widely differing views of the ways the Old and New Testament are accepted, interpreted, and applied.” Then the task force added, “It is our opinion that until our church examines this problem, our denomination will continue to be impeded in its mission and ...
