He's in a genre of his own.
You'll be re thinking everything in no time.
Grace is radical, laughable, and the gospel is fun. The work is done.
The Good News is as far as possible from shoulds and oughts. God delights and so should you. Go play.
Assigning meaning and purpose to things is to miss the point.
They are good in themselves.
Read and enjoy (with a glass of wine)
On God, Matter, Wine, and things.

Probably two of his most popular:

quote:
Just think what that means. We were not made in God's image for nothing. The child's preference for sweets over spinach, mankind's universal love of the toothsome rather than the nutritious is the mark of our greatness, the proof that we love the secular as He does—for its secularity. We have eyes which see what He sees, lips which praise what He praises, and mouths which relish things, because He first pronounced them tov. The world is no disposable ladder to heaven. Earth is not convenient, it is good; it is, by God's design, our lawful love.
Another toast then.
To Da Vinci's notebooks; to Einstein's preoccupations; to Mozart and to Bach, and to the child who hears a canon for the first time in “Frère Jacques”; to the singularities of chalk and cheese and to the delectabilities of all things, visible and in- visible; l'chaim because it is good; to health, for no reason but itself; to men because they are men, to women without explanation, and to the good company of every secular thing in saecula saeculorum. Toast them with their own watchword: Here's how!
