We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.

We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.

Compare yourself only with Jesus.

The fruit is what really matters, not how gnarly or beautiful the apple tree is.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.

Were all human beings suddenly 2 become blind, still the sun would shine by day and the stars by night, for these owe nothing 2 the millions who benifit from their light. So were every man on earth 2 become atheist it could not affect God in any way. He is what He is in Himself without regard to any other. To believe in Him adds nothing to His perfections to doubt Him takes nothing away.
