From my perspective, the state has to assume responsibility for the integrity of international communications.

We will never be found short in our knowledge and in our skills.

Frustration is the by-product of attempting to fulfill responsibilities God does not intend for us to carry.

When I'm all over everything, it's a big responsibility and half the time leaves me in some weird nether state of insecurity and doubt.

Gandhi is the other person. I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you.

To me, those are the real freedoms on the basis of which good human societies are based.

God build’s God’s kingdom. But God ordered this world in such a way that His own work within that world takes place through the human beings that reflect His image. That is central to the notion of being made in God’s image. He has enlisted us to act as His stewards in the project of creation.
