Christianity came into the world with the greatest simplicity of thought and language, as well as life and manners, holding forth nothing but piety, charity, and humility, with the belief of the Messiah and of his kingdom.
William Temple

Whoever is a hypocrite in his religion mocks God, presenting to him the outside, and reserving the inward for his enemy.
Jeremy Taylor
But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

The New Living Translation
Just to follow hour by hour
As He leadeth;
Just to draw the moment’s power
As it needeth.

If you have done your fellow man a little wrong, let it be a great wrong in your eyes and rectify it. If you have done him much good, let it be little in your eyes. If he has done you a little good, let it be great in your eyes. If he has done you a great wrong, let it be little in your eyes.
Nathan the Babylonian
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Unknown
And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

I believe in a God who knows how complicated human life is, how difficult it is to be a good person at all times, and who expects not a perfect life but an honest effort at a good one.

Anna Shipton
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
The English Standard Version
For worship is a thirsty land crying out for rain,
It is a candle in the act of being kindled,
It is a drop in quest of the ocean,
It is a voice in the night calling for help,
It is a soul standing in awe before the mystery of the universe,
It is time flowing into eternity,
A man climbing the altar stairs to God.
Dwight Bradley

God does not help us by removing the tests, but by making the tests work for us.
Warren Wiersbe
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14
The English Standard Version
A powerful story came out of World War II. It is about a little Jewish boy who was living in a small Polish village when Nazi troops rounded up him and all the other Jews in the vicinity and sentenced them to death. The boy joined his neighbours in digging a shallow ditch for their own graves. Then the soldiers lined them up against a wall and machine gunned them down. But none of the bullets hit the little boy. The blood of his parents splattered his naked body, and as he fell into the ditch he pretended to be dead. The grave was so shallow that the thin covering of dirt did not prevent him from breathing. Several hours later, when darkness fell, he clawed his way out of the grave. With blood and dirt caked to his little body, he made his way to the nearest house and begged for help. Recognizing him as one of the Jewish boys marked for death, he was turned away at house after house as people feared getting into trouble with the SS troops. Then something inside seemed to guide him to say something that was very strange for a Jewish boy to say. When the next family responded to his timid knocking in the still of the night, they heard him cry, “Don’t you recognize me? I am the Jesus you say you love.” After a poignant pause, the woman who stood in the doorway swept him into her arms and kissed him. From that day on, the members of that family cared for that boy as though he was one of their own.

He became what we are that he might make us what he is.
Athanasius
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Psalm 96:4-6
The English Standard Version
I’ve no idea when Jesus is coming back. I’m on the Welcoming Committee, not the Planning Committee.
