Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.

I find that when I think I am asking God to forgive me I am often in reality. . . asking Him not to forgive me but to excuse me.

And there, right in the middle of it, I find 'Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.' There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.

But however happy you are feeling, you can't talk with your mouth full of snow.

The stamp of the Saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed.
