Christ offers something for nothing: He even offers everything for nothing.

There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was 'the sort of person who is always snooping around to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it.'

Man is to be understood only in his relationship to God.

You die and die and then you are beyond death.

A thing may be morally neutral and yet the desire for that thing may be dangerous.

Good, as it ripens, becomes continually more different not only from evil but from other good.

Both good and evil, when they are full grown, become retrospective...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporary suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. And of some sinful pleasure they say 'Let me but have this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin.
