God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.

No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.

It is good to have an intellectual awareness of our dependence upon God - to understand how great He is and how very small we are in His sight.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
