Well Put


Abstract:
Some quotations I've stumbled across recently:

Body:
Wisdom is the art of living skillfully in whatever actual conditions we find ourselves.
- Eugene Peterson, The Message, Introduction to Proverbs.

Frequently, far from holding God accountable, we hear it said that Christians need to learn to accept whatever happens as the will of God. ...This is not, however, behavior that fosters a love of God.
-Roberta Bondi, To Pray & To Love, p.127.

...The existence of evil here below, far from disproving the reality of God, is the very thing that reveals him in his truth.
...The religions which represent divinity as commanding everywhere it has the power to do so seem false. Even though they are monotheistic they are idolatrous.
-Simone Weil, Waiting for God, p. 145.
