Author of quotes: Haddon Robinson

If we don't have a clear vision of its path, it is likely that we will soon keep us on course.

The purpose of every sermon is that would encourage people to live life according to moral principles. And we need to know what these principles are.

Nobody starts reading a book from the 50th page to read one paragraph, begin to talk about author's intent.

The ability to abstract and synthesize, that is to think of ideas, is a sign of maturity.

As you know, people build their lives and determine their destiny in eternity under the influence of ideas.

Out there, people are losing their jobs, worried about their children, fighting with the weeds in the lawn and so on. Normal people do not lose sleep over problems that were the Jebusites, the Canaanites, or the Perizzites, or even because of the words and actions of Abraham, Moses, or Paul. People don't go to sleep thinking about the inflation, the shortages, about the quarrel with her husband, on malignant tumors, failures in the sexual life or rat race where only the rats win. If the sermon does not change anything in this world, people are thinking, why do I need it?

People do not listen to the sermon, they listen to us.

To think, in principle, difficult. And even harder to think about how you think. But the most difficult to talk about what you think about their thoughts.
