Wherever it pleases God to put man in this world, the Christian must be ready for martyrdom and death. It is only in this way that man learns faith.

The cross is suffering with Christ.

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

Your life as a Christian should make non believers question their disbelief in God.

...Gratitude transforms the torment of memory of good things now gone into silent joy. One bears what was lovely in the past not as a thorn but as a precious gift deep within, a hidden treasure of which one can always be certain.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.

Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to each of us.
