“Let every Christian be a gardener so that he and she and the whole of creation, which groans in expectation of the Spirit's final harvest, may inherit Paradise. If we Christian's truly treasure the hope that one day we, like Adam and the penitent thief, will walk alongside the One who caused even the dead wood of the Cross to blossom with flowers, then we must also imitate the Master's art and make the desolate earth grow green.” IfsMayArtWholeEarthChristianSpiritGrowsWalksCreationFlowerMastersOne DayExpectationsCrossesGreenFinalsWoodsTreasureParadiseAdamThievesHarvestGardenerDesolate Book:Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening Source: Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening
“Everybody really knows what to do to have his life filled with joy. What is it? Quit hating people; start loving them. Quit being mad at people; start liking them. Quit doing wrong; quit being filled with fear. Quit thinking about yourself and go out and do something for other people. Everybody knows what you have to do to be happy. But the wisdom of the test lies in the final words: "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsChristianJoyLyingReligionHateTestsMadFilledFinalsQuittingAbout YourselfHate PeopleMasonicThinking About YouFinal WordsThinking About YourselfBeing Mad Author:Norman Vincent Peale
“The spot where God's triumph is achieved, God's victory over sin, over lawlessness, is the cross of Calvary- the cross on which the Son of God died.

“Think of the majesty of that moment in this dying world's history, when Jesus Christ declared that to the Christian death was only a sleep. Outside of that small dwelling in Capernaum, a great race of men rushed and toiled as they harassed continents and seas; mighty events marshaled themselves into annals and pageants. What was inside? In one inconspicuous chamber of a now forgotten house, man's Redeemer, unobserved, martyred man's final enemy. There Immanuel subdued death forever.” ThinkingMenWorldMomentsChristianHouseJesusChristSleepRaceEnemyForeverSeaDyingEventsJesus ChristFinalsForgottenThat MomentContinentsChamberMajestyDwellingRedeemerPageantMartyredGreat Race Author:Charles Seymour Robinson
