Dallas Willard
“The sensed irrelevance of what God is doing to what makes up our lives is the foundational flaw in the existence of multitudes of professing Christians today. They have been led to believe that God, for some unfathomable reason, just thinks it appropriate to transfer credit from Christ’s merit account to ours, and to wipe out our sin debt, upon inspecting our mind and finding that we believe a particular theory of the atonement to be true—even if we trust everything but God in all other matters that concern us. It is left unexplained how it is possible that one can rely on Christ for the next life without doing so for this one, trust him for one’s eternal destiny without trusting him for “the things that relate to Christian life.” Is this really possible? Surely it is not! Not within one life.”
Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God

G.K. Chesterton
“There was something that He hid from all men, when he went up a mountain to pray. There was something that he covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.”
G.K. Chesterton

“When we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing. We worship anything. G. K. Chesterton”
Matt Papa, Look and Live: Behold the Soul-Thrilling, Sin-Destroying Glory of Christ

John Archibald Wheeler
“Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.”
John Archibald Wheeler, Geons, Black Holes and Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics

G.K. Chesterton
“The first principle is that nobody should be ashamed of thinking a thing funny because it is foreign; the second is that he should be ashamed of thinking it wrong because it is funny. The reaction of his senses and superficial habits of mind against something new, and to him abnormal, is a perfectly healthy reaction. But the mind which imagines that mere unfamiliarity can possibly prove anything about inferiority is a very inadequate mind.”
G.K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America
