In the name of Jesus Christ, who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all of eternity before us, make us take time to live---time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessings, and time to know each other. View quote
Peter Marshall

Peter Marshall
Above all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs. View quote
Peter Marshall
God hasn't given up on you. He can still do great things for you, in you, and through you. God is ready and waiting and able. What about you, and me? View quote
Peter Marshall
The resurrection never becomes a fact of experience until the risen Lord lives in the heart of the believer. View quote
Peter Marshall
Give according to your income lest God make your income according to your giving. View quote
Peter Marshall
Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire. View quote

Christianity is a power religion. Christ has the power to re-create men from the inside out, as every man who has ever met Him knows. (Peter Marshall)
Anarchism as a political philosophy seeks to dissolve all forms of authority and power, and if possible, wishes their complete abolition. View quote
Peter Marshall
The aim is not therefore to liberate some 'essential self' by throwing off the burden of government and the State, but to develop the self in creative and voluntary relations with others. View quote
Peter Marshall
