The Gospel Acts Without Threats...

If We Are Given Gold, Would We Not Test It To Determine It's Value? If We Doubted Its Genuineness - We Would Test It By Fire...and So God With Us.

It Is Certain That Not One Drop Of Rain Falls Without God's Sure Command.

Assuredly There Is But One Way In Which To Achieve What Is Not Merely Difficult But Utterly Against Human Nature: To Love Those Who Hate Us, To Repay Their Evil Deeds With Benefits, To Return Blessings For Reproaches. It Is That We Remember Not To Consider Men's Evil Intention But To Look Upon The Image Of God In Them, Which Cancels And Effaces Their Transgressions, And With Its Beauty And Dignity Allures Us To Love And Embrace Them.

Knowledge Of The Sciences Is So Much Smoke Apart From The Heavenly Science Of Christ.

The Name Of Christ Excludes All Merit Of Our Own.
