“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.” NeedsHumansLongSelfJesusLeftChristBornRoomsJudgingJesus ChristMercySatisfactionDustPlentyCompareComparisonSelf-satisfactionMercy Of God Author:William Barclay
“It was before Deity embodied in a human form walking among men, partaking of their infirmities, leaning on their bosoms, weeping over their graves, slumbering in the manger, bleeding on the cross, that the prejudices of the synagogue, and the doubts of the academy, and the pride of the portico, and the fasces of the lictor, and the swords of thirty legions were humbled in the dust.” MenHumansFormChristDoubtPrideWalkingCrossesPrejudiceGravesDustThirtyDeitiesWeepingAcademyBosomsBleedingInfirmityLegionSynagogueHuman Form Author:Thomas B.

“I use the word "god" a lot, and I'm not sure if I know what I believe god is. I don't believe that when we die, that's it. It's almost like a logical faith. I logically don't believe that all this stuff [surrounding us] is generated from dust. But I'm also not like "Jesus Christ came down to save us." It's almost selfish to think that human beings, on this plane of reality, are the end of it.” IfsThinkingKnowsBelieveHumansEndsUseRealityDiesJesusI BelieveStuffChristHuman BeingsJesus ChristDon't BelieveSelfishDustPlanesNot SureLogicalBelieve In God Author:Blake Butler
