Jesus’ Coming Is The Final And Unanswerable

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

The Only Victory Love Can Enjoy Is The Day When Its Offer Of Love Is Answered By The Return Of Love. The Only Possible Final Triumph Is A Universe Loved By God And In Love With God.

Love Always Involves Responsibility, And Love Always Involves Sacrifice. And We Do Not Really Love Christ Unless We Are Prepared To Face His Task And To Take Up His Cross.

We Are Trying Not So Much To Make God Listen To Us As To Make Ourselves Listen To Him; We Are Trying Not To Persuade God To Do What We Want, But To Find Out What He Wants Us To Do. It So Often Happens That In Prayer We Are Really Saying, 'thy Will Be Changed,' When We Ought To Be Saying, 'thy Will Be Done.' The First Object Of Prayer Is Not So Much To Speak To God As To Listen To Him.

If We Find Ourselves Becoming Critical Of Other People We Should Stop Examining Them, And Start Examining Ourselves.
