Pride Is The Ground In

The Christian Is Called Upon To Be The Partner Of God In The Work Of The Conversion Of Men.

A Man May Well Be Condemned, Not For Doing Something, But For Doing Nothing.

Christianity Does Not Think Of Man Finally Submitting To The Power Of God, It Thinks Of Him As Finally Surrendering To The Love Of God. It Is Not That Man's Will Is Crushed, But That Man's Heart Is Broken.

There Are Certain Things Which Are Lost By Being Kept And Saved By Being Used. Any Individual Talent Is Like That. If It Is Used, It Will Develop Into Something Still Greater. If Someone Refuses To Use It, In The End That Talent Will Be Lost. Supremely So, Life Is Like That.

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.
