The Tests Of Life Are Not To

Many People Conceive Of Religion As Something Apart From Everyday Affairs Of The World. They Think Of It In Terms Of Ceremony Or Ritual Or Sermons And Often It Strikes Them As Being Dull Or Not Particularly Interesting. Religion May Be Described In Many Ways. I Like To Think Of It As A Medicine, A Healing Medicine For The Mind.

Stand Up To Your Obstacles And Do Something About Them. You Will Find That They Haven't Half The Strength You Think They Have.

We Reach The Goal Not By The Stairs, But By The Lift..... God Pledges His Promised Righteousness To Those Who Will Stop Trying To Save Themselves. Change Your Thoughts And You Change Your World.

You Can Be Greater Than Anything That Can Happen To You.

No Sin Is Committed Merely Because A Thought Enters The Mind, Provided It Is Not Made Welcome. Perhaps We May Use The Figure That The Thought First Passes Into An Anteroom, Where It Stands Before The Mind Acting As A Judge. No Matter How Sordid Or Evil, It Has Not Touched The Personality With Its Infamy Nor In Any Way Laid Guilt Upon The Soul Unless And Until The Mind Acting As Judge Admits It With A Welcome. If The Mind Decides Against It And Dismisses It, The Personality Is Not Only Unsullied But Is, On The Contrary, By This Act Of Rejection Stimulated And Strengthened In Moral Power.
