Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

For God has no favorites.

05/22/2012 Scripture

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ sufferedfor you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyo ne.He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.

-1 Peter 2:21-25 NLT

The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man.

The Pulse of Life

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

-Henry David Thoreau
