Eugene H. Peterson Quotes

The Pastoral Task With Words Is Not Communication But Communion - The Healing And Restoration And Creation Of Love Relationships Between God And His Fighting Children And Our Fought-over Creation. Poetry Uses Words In And For Communion.
This Is Hard Work And Requires Alertness. The Language Of Our Time Is In Terrible Condition. It Is Used Carelessly And Cynically. Mostly It Is A Tool For Propaganda, Whether Secular Or Religious. Every Time Badly Used And Abused Language Is Carried By Pastors Into Prayers And Preaching And Direction, The Word Of God Is Cheapened. We Cannot Use A Bad Means To A Good End.
