Mareth_Ravenlock said:...

On topic: I’d have to go with Martin Luther King Junior’s „I have a dream“ speech (of 1964?). That is preaching at its very best, brings tears to my eyes practically every time I hear it.
Slightly off-topic: I heard Martin Luther King SENIOR give a speech at a Democratic presidential nomination conference – Clinton? Carter? … only remember the impression it made on me: Old Testament Prophet hammering the wayward children of Israel to return to the straight path.

Awesome.

Further off topic: That quote by the last useful President of the Republican Party (with the possible exception of Ulysses S. Grant) is an old-fashioned one – power reveals character. The more modern (and realistic one) as Tom Shippey points out, stemming from after Lincoln’s time and from England, is that power corrupts character. Think Sauron, Saruman, others of your choice.

A speech that brings tears to my eyes is Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have Been to the Mountain Top." Especially the ending: "'I fear no man! My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!'" Fun (or not so fun...) Fact: MLK J. was murdered one day later on April 4th.

Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

~Brandon Heath
And I will live to carry Your compassion, to love a world that's broken, to be Your hands and feet, and I will give with the life that I've been given, and go beyond religion to see the world be changed by the power of Your name. ~Lincoln Brewster

I love that song!

A quote... well, there is the song in my siggy... or... I could always give you my quote (as in by me). It was in response to a line of a song.

'Fighting for the worthless heart' - there is no worthless heart, not if somewhere within there is a spark of love, a seed of hope, for they may be kindled into a fire which consumes all darkness, and blossom into a flower which brings joys to all who look upon it. Accept God. Allow yourself to become what you were born to be. We were all created by God, for God, and He can give us the world. It is God's world, made by Him, and it is His gift to us. He gives us everything, we just have to earn it. He gives us Heaven, because he loved us so much that he was willing for His son to die for us. We can never hope to earn the right to this, but by believing, we can make this world better. We can make Earth the Heaven that God promised Isiah it would be.

I really like that song too!!

"In the way the shadow's hide. When the sun begins to rise. And in the way the world comes alive at the first hint of Spring. The frozen rivers run. Death and Winter comes un-done. Whispers of kingdoms come as the bluebird sings.
(Chorus)-Everything that I thought I knew. Everything sad is coming untrue.
From the war torn city streets. To the trash the sun dogs eat. It seems so hard to believe and meaningless to pray. But in Rwanda's killing fields forgiveness blooms and heals. And the power of love reveals the kingdom come today.
(Chorus) Life is coming alive. Death is destined to die. But love…" -Jason Gray, Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue

Check this song out! It's really cool! My sisters and I also made a video from this song from clips of the first Narnia movie. It turned out pretty nice! But the downside is, when we uploaded it, the timing got off somehow and the quality isn't too great either. Its a public video so if you wanna check it out just search the title of the song and Narnia. Wait, I'll just put the link to it on here.

"After all the lights go down, Im just the words, you are the sound. A strange type of chemistry, you become a part of me. And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like, a fire, your the only one who knows whp I really am." - Be Somebody, Thousand Foot Krutch.



I try to remember those lines when Im submitting things for publication. Not always easy, but It's God who's giving me my thought and Im just the one writing it down.

From the Master JRRT himself, in his Valedictory Address to Oxford 1959

“But dullness should be confessed with humility. And I have therefore felt it a grievance that certain professional persons should suppose their dullness and ignorance to be a human norm, the measure of what is good; and anger when they have sought to impose the limitations of their minds upon younger minds, dissuading those with philological curiosity from their bent, encouraging those without this interest to believe that their lack marked them as minds of a superior order.”

Sound familiar for countless occasions?

"You give me faith, to believe tehres a way, to put the past behind me, and hope to make it through another night. You give me strength, during these dark times, when Im blind, you are my life, and faith is hard to find."- Hard to Find, Skillet


"Everything turns golden, and it fell apart, it's the same sad story, it's the same sad song, where did I go wrong?" - Let Me Drown, We As Human

"Wish you were someone else, every night you fall to pieces. Knowing you can't save yourself, I can see you, I can hear you. There's a place where the broken go, there's a room full of second chances. Your not standing on your own, your not invisible. I can see you as your falling on your knees, you not invisible to me."- Invisible, Disciple

From „The Letters of JRRT“, letter no. 71, to his son Christopher, 25 May 1944:

“…derived from the ‘inner war’ of allegory in which good is on one side and various modes of badness on the other. In real (exterior) life men are on both sides: which means a motley alliance of orcs, beasts, demons, plain naturally honest men, and angels.”
