Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.

One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness.

[Milton's] argument is (a) St. Augustine was wrong in thinking God's only purpose in giving Adam a female, instead of a male, companion, was copulation. For (b) there is a "peculiar comfort" in the society of man and woman "beside, (i.e. in addition to, apart from) the genial bed"; and (c) we know from Scripture that something analogous to "play" or "slackening the cords" occurs even in God. That is why the Song of Songs describes a thousand raptures...far on the hither side of carnal enjoyment.

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.

Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense.

When we want to be something other than the thing God wants us to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us happy.
