“The glory of God is the human person fully alive.”

“The Glory of God is a human being fully alive.”

“The glory of God is a man fully alive, and the life of a man consists in beholding God.”

“Spirituality means to me living the ordinary life extraordinarily well. As the old-church father said, 'The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.”

“God loves and cares for creation and has the right to expect this loving care be replicated by humans. Creation exists, not for the glory of humanity, but for the glory of God. God has the right to see that earthly creatures are free to live according to their nature and without unnecessary abuse, exploitation, and pain, so that their lives can glorify their Creator.…[S]ince God values and cares for all creation, creation has a derived right to be valued and cared for by humans for God’s glory.”
