Passion is loving something enough to suffer for it.

There are various names for this 'Spirit of Life' because there are various life experiences.

That is why faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest, not patience but impatience.... Those who hope in Christ can no longer put up with reality as it is.

As long as hope does not embrace and transform the thought and action of men, it remains topsy-turvy and ineffective.

With every righteous action, we prepare the way for the New Earth on which righteousness will dwell. And bringing justice to those who suffer violence means to bring the light of God's future to them.

The turn from this end [despair] to a new beginning came from three things. A blooming cherry tree, the unexpected kindness of Scottish workers and their families, and the Bible.

Despair can be like an iron band constricting the heart.
