Purpose




"If we stood face to face with the light streaming from the face of God right now, we would be blinded, dazzled, and squashed. 'No man can see my face and live.'

God is like the sun; the most ecstatic joy available in our present experience is like a sunbeam. If we were able to run up the sunbeam into the sun, we would be volatized.

Our business here is a process of thickening, becoming more real, learning to endure more light."

~ Peter Kreeft, Heaven, the Heart's Deepest Longing
