A batch of the best highlights from what Lukas's read, .
Only by seeing sin as an institutional reality—embedded in concrete artifacts, played out in terrifying large and visible arenas, dictating rules that enslave rather than set free, and turning naturally differentiated roles into oppressively rigid structures of status and privilege—can we understand the damage idolatry and injustice have done.
Happiness is not the belief that we don’t need to change; it is the realization that we can.
The Happiness Advantage
Shawn Achor
To hold power over does equal using one’s power well, which is the essence of leadership. Just as someone who inherits great wealth may squander it and end a pauper, so a chieftain may squander his power — and end not a leader, but a villain. Just as we don’t call every vandal an artist, and reserve the title in its truest sense for Picassos and Dalis, so we shouldn’t call every horrible boss, tedious grandee, self-important bureaucrat, head of state, or ruthless CEO a leader — until they have led people to destinations which matter.
