“Above all, you ask if the God of Christians forgives those who do not believe and who do not seek faith.

“Today, even amongst Christians, there can be found much of that spirit that wants to give as little as possible to the Lord, and yet to get as much as possible from Him. The prevailing thought today is of being used, as though that were the one thing that mattered. That my little rubber band should be stretched to the very limit seems all important. But this is not the Lord's mind. The Lord wants us to be used, yes; but what He is after is that we pour all we have, ourselves, to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.” IfsWantGivingShouldMindLittlesImportantEnoughSeemsTodayChristianUsedSpiritFoundLordOne ThingBandLimitsDiscipleshipWant UPrevailingRubberRubber BandsChristian Discipleship Author:Watchman Nee

After the death of John, or of the last survivor, whoever he might be, of the group which had seen the master, the word of Jesus was convicted of falsehood.” MenWorldFirstsMightChristianLastsJesusTakenGenerationsGroupsAtheismMastersLimitsPositive AtheismDoctrineEnduranceSurvivorFalsehoodContinuingEvidentLiteral Book:The Life of Jesus: Works of Renan Source: The Life of Jesus: Works of Renan
