“The God of Christians is a God of love and comfort, a God who fills the soul and heart of those whom he possesses, a God who makes them conscious of their inward wretchedness, and his infinite mercy; who unites himself to their inmost soul, who fills it with humility and joy, with confidence and love, who renders them incapable of any other end than himself.” HeartSoulEndsChristianJoyHumilityComfortConsciousMercyAnd LoveInfiniteInwardIncapableWretchednessConfidence And Love Book:Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works Source: Thoughts, Letters & Minor Works
“I am no preacher of the old legal Sabbath. I am a preacher of the gospel. The Sabbath of the Jew is to him a task; the Lord's Day of the Christian, the first day of the week, is to him a joy, a day of rest, of peace, and of thanksgiving. And if you Christian men can earnestly drive away all distractions, so that you can really rest today, it will be good for your bodies, good for your souls, good mentally, good spiritually, good temporally, and good eternally.” IfsMenFirstsSoulBodyTodayChristianJoyLordWeekTasksJewBe GoodYour BodyYour SoulGood ManDistractionPreacherSabbathDays Of The WeekDay Of Rest Author:Charles Spurgeon

“All Christian religions are outer-directed. "Who can I convert?" "Let's go to this country and make them Christians." "Wear this." "Do that." "No, don't worship that way. Worship this way or I'll kill you - for the good of your soul, of course." Meanwhile, followers of Eastern religions are sitting in the middle of their minds, experiencing a bliss and a level of consciousness that Western man can't begin to approach.” MenWayMindSoulCountryChristianCoursesLevelsConsciousnessMiddleApproachWorshipSittingWesternYour SoulBlissFollowersEastern Author:George Carlin
“Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you cannot see it now; you must believe it.
