We Have A Duty To Encourage One

The Christian Is A [person] Of Joy... A Gloomy Christian Is A Contradiction Of Terms, And Nothing In All Religious History Has Done Christianity More Harm Than Its Connection With Black Clothes And Long Faces.

So Long As We Judge Ourselves By Human Comparisons, There Is Plenty Of Room For Self-satisfaction, And Self-satisfaction Kills Faith, For Faith Is Born Of The Sense Of Need. But When We Compare Ourselves With Jesus Christ, And Through Him, With God, We Are Humbled To The Dust, And Then Faith Is Born, For There Is Nothing Left To Do But To Trust To The Mercy Of God.

If We Are To Accept The Teaching Of Jesus At All, Then The Only Test Of The Reality Of A Man's Religion Is His Attitude To His Fellow Men. The Only Possible Proof That A Man Loves God Is The Demonstrated Fact That He Loves His Fellow Men.

We Reverence God And We Hallow God's Name When Our Life Is Such That It Brings Honor To God And Attracts Others To Him.

There Are Certain Things Which Are Lost By Being Kept And Saved By Being Used. Any Individual Talent Is Like That. If It Is Used, It Will Develop Into Something Still Greater. If Someone Refuses To Use It, In The End That Talent Will Be Lost. Supremely So, Life Is Like That.
