Who would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?

We count on God's mercy for our past mistakes, on God's love for our present needs, on God's sovereignty for our future.

We both exist and know that we exist, and rejoice in this knowledge.

Jesus took His flesh from the flesh of Mary

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.

It was in His flesh that Christ walked among us and it is His flesh that He has given us to eat for our salvation; but no one eats of this flesh without having first adored it . . . and not only do we not sin in thus adoring it, but we would be sinning if we did not do so.

Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn.
