“What of the meek?  In a world too preoccupied with winning through intimidation and seeking to be number one, no large crowd of folk is standing in line to buy books that call for meekness.  But the meek shall inherit the earth, a pretty impressive corporate takeover—and done without intimidation!  Sooner or later, and we pray sooner than later, everyone will acknowledge that Christ’s way is not only the right way, but ultimately the only way to hope and joy.  Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that gentleness is better than brutality, that kindness is greater than coercion, that the soft voice turneth away wrath.  In the end, and sooner than that whenever possible, we must be more like him” (The Teachings of Howard W. Hunter, p. 266

    …of all God’s remarkable creations, only we, His children, are created in His image and likeness. Only we, His children, have the capacity to develop our own spiritual convictions. And only we, His children, can give voice and expression to our witness of Him. We, His children, rejoice in our privilege and sacred obligation to bear record of Him and His gospel.” – Susan L. Warner
