“Concluding a short series on sin: It is appalling to think of a power so strong that it can annihilate with the irresistible force of its grinding heel; but it is inspiring to consider an Almightiness that transforms the works of evil into the hand-maidens of righteousness and converts the sinner into the saint. And it is this latter power which eternal Love possesses and exhibits. He persistently dwells in the sinner until the sinner wakes up in His likeness and is satisfied with it.” ThinkingHandsEvilStrongForceSinChristianityEternalWake UpSeriesSaintSatisfiedLatterSinnerRighteousnessHeelsIrresistibleExhibitsMaidensEternal LoveConcludingIrresistible Force Author:Charles Brent
“There is no thirst of the soul so consuming as the desire for pardon. The sense of its bestowal is the starting-point of all goodness. It comes bringing with it, if not the freshness of innocence, yet a glow of inspiration that nerves feeble hands for hard tasks, a fire of hope that lights anew the old high ideal, so that it stands before the eye in clear relief, beckoning to make it out on its own.” IfsSoulHardHandsLightInspirationEyeDesireClearFireGoodnessForgivenessIdealsTasksStartingInnocenceReliefNervesThirstPardonConsumingStarting PointFreshnessBeckoning Author:Charles Brent
“A man must not stop listening any more than praying when he rises from his knees.
