Having Convictions Can Be Defined As Being

My Joy In Life Is Not Because I Have Not Had Any Problems. I Have Joy Because I Have Learned There Is Nothing Too Great For Gods Power To Deal With, Nor Anything Too Small Or Insignificant For His Love To Be Concerned About.

The Fact That God Accepts Us Should Be Our Motivation For Accepting Ourselves. If We Cannot Accept Ourselves The Way We Are, With Our Limitations And Assets, Weaknesses As Well As Strengths, Shortcomings As Well As Abilities; Then We Cannot Trust Anyone Else To Accept Us The Way We Are. We Will Always Be Putting On A Front, Building A Facade Around Ourselves, Never Letting People Know What We Are Really Like Deep Down Inside.

Jesus Said That I Am The Only Way. So It Is Illogical To Say All Religions Are True, But It Is Not Illogical To Say All Religions Are False. All Religion Could Be False But They Can't All Be True Because There Are Direct Logical Contradictions.

I Always Tried To Be Open-minded, But Not So Open-minded That My Brains Would Fall Out. As G. K. Chesterton Says, "the Purpose Of Opening The Mind, As Of Opening The Mouth, Is To Close It Again On Something Solid." I Opened My Mind, And I Finally Closed It On The Most Solid Reality I Had Ever Experienced. On December 19, 1959, At 8:30pm, During My Second Year At The University, I Became A Christian.

Belief Is Knowing What You Believe. Conviction Is Knowing Why You Believe It.
