The Tragedy Of Life And

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

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.

It Is The Simple Truth To Say That The New Testament Books Became Canonical Because No One Could Stop Them Doing So.

The Christian Is A [person] Of Joy... A Gloomy Christian Is A Contradiction Of Terms, And Nothing In All Religious History Has Done Christianity More Harm Than Its Connection With Black Clothes And Long Faces.

The Word Grace Emphasizes At One And The Same Time The Helpless Poverty Of Man And The Limitless Kindness Of God.
