Here are the three G.K. Chesterton quotes from this past Sunday's message:
"The poet only desires exaltation and expansion, a world to stretch himself in. The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens in to his head. And it is his head that splits."
"Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health. When you destroy mystery you create morbidity."
"The ordinary man...has always cared more for truth than for consistency. If he saw two truths that seemed to contradict each other, he would take the two truths and the contradictions along with them."
Of course, these quotes are best appreciated within proper context, which in this case is Chesterton's classic Orthodoxy.
As we journey through the life Joseph for the next six weeks, I hope we all keep our hearts open to the wonderful mystery of the interplay between God's providence and human will.
