“Worry about tomorrow steals the joy from today.”

What I see here, what I feel here is that people in your world believe spirituality isn’t distant. It’s close and real. Religion seems born in the home, stays in the home.

I mean, the services are even held in the home. And there’s not one person in charge, one speaker set above the others. It’s farmers and carpenters, and well, just average folk speaking spontaneously about the message they find in the Bible. […] A message from the heart to the heart.

Worrying is arrogant because God knows what He’s doing.

I decided I got to say whether I was Christian or not, and so I’ve relaxed enormously since then. I’m the one who gets to say that, and not someone else.

False self is an identity based on what you have, what you do, and what others think about you. In stark contrast to this is the true self in Christ, which is who we are before God and in God – Christ living in us, as Paul put it to the churches in Galatia.

No one can claim to be called Christian who gives money for the building of warships and arsenals.

I never meant to marry. In my opinion, a woman born in the last half of the nineteenth century of the Christian era suffered from enough disadvantages without willfully embracing another.

The Christians seized all the maize the locals of Nicaragua had grown for themselves and their own families and, as a consequence, some twenty or thirty thousand natives died of hunger, some mothers even killing their own children and eating them.

The reason the Christians have murdered on such a vast scale and killed anyone and everyone in their way is purely and simply greed.

Legalistic remorse says, “I broke God’s rules,” while real repentance says, “I broke God’s heart.”

The Jehovah of the Jews is a suspicious tyrant, who breathes nothing but blood, murder, and carnage, and who demands that they should nourish him with the vapours of animals.
