Saw these on a fellow brother's Flickr post....
"All sins are an attempt to fill voids"
- Simone Weil
"Most people think of sin primarily as 'breaking divine rules,' but Kierkegaard knows that the very first of the Ten Commandments is to 'have no gods before me.' So, according to the Bible, the primary way to define sin is not just the doing of bad things, but the making of good things into ultimate things. It is seeking to establish a sense of self by making something else more central to your significance, purpose, and happiness than your relationship to God."
- Tim Keller, Reason for God
