Some Of Us Want The Crown Before

I'm Not A Righteous Man. People Put Me Up On A Pedestal That I Don't Belong In My Personal Life. And They Think That I'm Better Than I Am. I'm Not The Good Man That People Think I Am. Newspapers And Magazines And Television Have Made Me Out To Be A Saint. I'm Not. I'm Not A Mother Teresa. And I Feel That Very Much.

Pope John Paul Ii Was Unquestionably The Most Influential Voice For Morality And Peace In The World During The Last 100 Years.

One Response Was Given By The Innkeeper When Mary And Joseph Wanted To Find A Room Where The Child Could Be Born. The Innkeeper Was Not Hostile; He Was Not Opposed To Them, But His Inn Was Crowded; His Hands Were Full; His Mind Was Preoccupied. This Is The Answer That Millions Are Giving Today. Like A Bethlehem Innkeeper, They Cannot Find Room For Christ. All The Accommodations In Their Hearts Are Already Taken Up By Other Crowding Interests. Their Response Is Not Atheism. It Is Not Defiance. It Is Preoccupation And The Feeling Of Being Able To Get On Reasonably Well Without Christianity.

I Am Convinced That People Are Open To The Christian Message If It Is Seasoned With Authority And Proclaimed As God's Own Word.

The Bible Is Not An Option, It Is A Necessity. You Cannot Grow Spiritually Strong Without It.
