::WELCOME TO RESTORATION::

Teaching Quotes:

• Peter intends his readers to understand who they are before God so that they can be who they are in society.

Scot McKnight

• “The traumatized person -- in this case, me – gets traumatized by the very thing that I thought would be the balm," she says. "I thought that all would be helped and healed and soothed by fame... 'I will be less lonely and I will be understood and I will be loved, and that love will go in and heal any of the broken parts.’

Alanis Morissette

• If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.

CS Lewis – Mere Christianity

• Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.

  Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out.

David Foster Wallace – “This Is Water” Kenyon College Commencement Address
