The measure of a Christian is not in the height of his grasp but in the depth of his love

Fear is the polio of the soul which prevents our walking by faith.

The measure of a Christian is not in the height of his grasp but in the depth of his love

God will seek us -- how long? Until he finds us. And when he's found the last little shriveling rebellious soul and has depopulated hell, then death will be swallowed up in victory, and Christ will turn over all things to the Father that he may be all and in all. Then every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Now faith is the turning of dreams into deeds. It is betting your life on the unseen realities

Faith is not belief in spite of evidence but a life in scorn of the consequences.

Even though people about us choose the path of hate and violence and warfare and greed and prejudice, we who are Christ's body must throw off these poisons and let love permeate and cleanse every tissue and cell. Nor are we to allow ourselves to become easily discouraged when love is not always obviously successful or pleasant. Love never quits, even when an enemy has hit you on the right cheek and you have turned the other, and he's also hit that.
