Faith never requires us to crucify our minds or deny our senses.
If it were left to us, we would all fall away from the faith and perish.
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.
God is not blind; neither is He capricious. For Him there are no accidents. With God there are no cases of chance events.
Sometimes we emulate the Pharisees more than we imitate Christ.
