teaching thinking hands

teaching mean essence
Aiden Wilson Tozer To avoid the hard necessity of either obeying or rejecting the plain instructions of our Lord in the New Testament we take refuge in a liberal interpretation of them. We evangelicals also know how to avoid the sharp point of obedience by means of fine and intricate explanations. These are tailor-made for the flesh. They excuse disobedience, comfort carnality and make the words of Christ of none effect. And the essence of it all is that Christ simply could not have meant what He said. His teachings are accepted even theoretically only after they have been weakened by interpretation.

mean plot use
Charles Stross Personally, I avoid deus ex machina like the plague - if you have to use one, it means you failed to set up the universe and the plot properly.
