life optimistic benefits
I thought, I'm only going to be on this planet once, and only for a short time. What can I do with my life that will lead to permanent benefits?
teacher teaching optimistic
I served for 42 years on the board of trustees of the largest Presbyterian seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary, and we had brilliant people - teachers and students both-but they did not come up with many new concepts. They weren't invited to come up with new concepts. Anybody who had come up with a new concept would have been under suspicion for being out of step with the tradition or out of step with the teachings of the church.
optimistic littles bits
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God? God is everyone and each of us is a little bit.
optimistic thinking sea
The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
believe optimistic becoming
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
optimistic humble thinking
The correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be. It's self centered to think that human beings, as limited as we are, can describe divinity.
optimistic army doctors
A doctor today would never prescribe the treatments my grandfather used in the Confederate Army, but a minister says pretty much the same thing today that a minister would have said back then.
prayer optimistic perspective
We hope that there will be nothing that conflicts with anybody's religion or faith. We would never say a person's religion is not effective. We say, 'Would you be interested in something more effective?' We always put things in an optimistic, progressive perspective. Do you want to make your prayers more effective? Not that they are not effective, but do you want to help them become more effective?'
children optimistic doctors
Three of my children are medical doctors; they know at least a hundred times as much about your body as my grandfather knew, but they don't know much more about soul than he did.
teaching optimistic church
Anybody who had come up with a new concept would have been under suspicion for being out of step with the tradition or out of step with the teachings of the church.
optimistic opportunity opportunities-to-learn
If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
optimistic average long
Before this century is over, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will probably be over one million versus around 10,000 now. So for the long-term, the outlook is tremendously bullish if you buy stocks blindly to keep for a century.
optimistic investment
Diversify your investments.
religious optimistic principles
High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
