In Every Friendship Hearts Grow And Entwine

Unless There Is A Good Friday In Your Life, There Can Be No Easter Sunday.

Criticism Of Others Is Thus An Oblique Form Of Self-commendation. We Think We Make The Picture Hang Straight On Our Wall By Telling Our Neighbors That All His Pictures Are Crooked.

Sin Is A Disproportionate Seriousness.

By A Beautiful Paradox Of Divine Love, God Makes His Cross The Very Means Of Our Salvation And Our Life. We Have Slain Him; We Have Nailed Him There And Crucified Him; But The Love In His Eternal Heart Could Not Be Extinguished. He Willed To Give Us The Very Life We Slew; To Give Us The Very Food We Destroyed; To Nourish Us With The Very Bread We Buried, And The Very Blood We Poured Forth. He Made Our Very Crime Into A Happy Fault; He Turned A Crucifixion Into A Redemption; A Consecration Into A Communion; A Death Into Life Everlasting

Calamity, War, Famine, Plague, Death, Adversity, Disease, Injury Do Not Necessarily Produce Repentance. We May Become Better In A Calamity But It Does Not Necessarily Make Us Repent. The Essence Of Repentance Is That We Cannot Be Repentant Until We Confront Our Own Self Righteousness With God's Righteousness.
