God Himself Took This Human Flesh Upon

There Is No Joy In The World Like The Joy Of Bringing One Soul To Christ.

Religion Fails If It Cannot Speak To Men As They Are.

I Thank You For My Friends, For Those Who Understand Me Better Than I Understand Myself. For Those Who Know Me At My Worst, And Still Like Me. For Those Who Have Forgiven Me When I Had No Right To Expect To Be Forgiven. Help Me To Be As True To My Friends As I Would Wish Them To Be To Me.

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.

When We Accept Christ We Enter Into Three New Relationships: (1) We Enter Into A New Relationship With God. The Judge Becomes The Father; The Distant Becomes The Near; Strangeness Becomes Intimacy And Fear Becomes Love. (2) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Our Fellow Men. Hatred Becomes Love; Selfishness Becomes Service; And Bitterness Becomes Forgiveness. (3) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Ourselves. Weakness Becomes Strength; Frustration Becomes Achievement; And Tension Becomes Peace.
