Frank L. Hoffman"Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!"
"The raising and killing of animals for food is the greatest atrocity that the world has ever known, and the greatest spiritual and physical plague upon the human race. The only cure is to live a vegan lifestyle, and work to change the world in that direction through every peaceful means we can."
"A person who wears fur gives the impression that they lack empathy for the animals that suffered and died to provide for their lustful desire, and shows that at heart they are really selfish. Even the wearing of faux or fake fur imparts the same impression."
"When one group of people holds such power over another, there can be no
justice. And there is no love or justice when we use our position to
demoralize someone less fortunate than ourselves."
~Sermon - 4 Feb 1990
"Salvation is more than saying a sinner's prayer, and saying that one believes, for 'the demons also believe, and shudder' (James 2:19). The evidence of salvation is seen in a changed heart and a loving and compassionate soul that seeks to end the suffering of all humans and animals. Such a person is truly a peacemaking child of God (Matthew 5:9)."
"After years in church ministry, we came to the hard conclusion that
most churches are morally bankrupt when it comes to being loving and
compassionate peacemakers for the whole of creation, especially when it
comes to kindness to the animals outside of our own families.
Additionally, we had first hand evidence that cruelty and violence
toward animals leads to cruelty and violence toward humans. We wanted to
find a way of reaching out to the world around us and shine the light of
the Prince of Peace into the dark areas of our society."
~About our Foundation and Internet Ministry (2005)
"The simplest answer to, how does the perfection of a saint come to life in Christians of today, is through strong faith in God and living as a loving, compassionate, peacemaking child of God toward the whole of God's creation (humans, other animals, and the environment). You set the proper example of kingdom living no matter what others do around you."
"Fretting about something also makes us tired; thus we spend even less time doing what we could and should be doing."
"If we see the temporary success of evildoers, and become envious of them for what they have, then we are apt to do as they do, which isn't very wise."
