“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.”

—George Bernard Shaw

“Our union with the Messiah and his desire to continue his earthly ministry by living his life through us are so strong that we may be said to share his three offices of leadership. We are priests as we pray for those near us and draw them into the sphere of God's mercy and blessing. We are prophets as we hold a biblical straightedge against whatever is crooked around us. And we are kings as we use whatever powers we have to straighten what is crooked, reshaping whatever falls within the scope of our responsibility until it reflects the order of heaven.”

—Richard Lovelace, Renewal as a Way of Life
