The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.

It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.

God tested Abraham. Temptation is not meant to make us fail; it is meant to confront us with a situation out of which we emerge stronger than we were. Temptation is not the penalty of manhood; it is the glory of manhood.

In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.

In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
