I know everything that science so much wants me
to know, but this path will not lead me to an
answer to the question of the meaning of my
life. Leo Tolstoy, A Confession

religion. Albert Einstein

The will to meaning is really a specific need
not reducible to other needs, and is in greater

I say that this search for God was born not of
reason but of an emotion because it was a search
that arose not from my thought process indeed,
it was in direct opposition to my thinking but
from my heart. It was a feeling of dread, of
loneliness, of forlornness in the midst of all
that was alien to me and it was a feeling of
hope for someones help. Leo Tolstoy,
Confession

My argument against God was that the universe

straight line. C.S. Lewis

For no one can ever be made right in Gods sight
by doing what his law commands. For the more we
know Gods law the clearer it becomes that we
arent obeying it. But now God has shown us a
different way of being right in his sight not
by obeying the law but by the way promised in the
Scriptures long ago. We are made right in Gods
sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away
our sins. And we all can be saved in this same
way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
For all have sinned all fall short of Gods
glorious standard. Romans 320-27 (NLT)
27
For all have sinned all fall short of Gods
glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious
kindness declares us not guilty. He has done
this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by
taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take
the punishment of our sins and to satisfy Gods
anger against us. We are made right with God
when we believe that Jesus shed his blood,
sacrificing his life for us. Can we boast,
then, that we have done anything to be accepted
by God? No, because our acquittal is not based
on our good deeds. It is based on our faith.
Romans 320-27 (NLT)

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving
ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 John
18 (NASB) If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us form all unrighteousness. 1 John
19 (NASB)
32
I am still not all I should be, but I am
focusing all my energies on this one thing
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what
lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the
race and receive the prize. Philippians
313-14 (NLT)
33
