“Bridge-players tell me that there must be some money on the game 'or else people won't take it seriously'. Apparently it's like that. Your bid - for God or no God, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity - will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover how serious it was until the stakes are raised horribly high, until you find that you are playing not for counters or for sixpences but for every penny you have in the world.” PeopleIfsWorldLifeGamesPlayerSeriousEternalRaisedBridgesStakesCosmicEternal LifePenniesGood GodNonentity Book:A Grief Observed Source: A Grief Observed
“Baptism into this Church is a serious thing. It represents a covenant made with our Heavenly Father. It is much more than a right of passage. It is a gateway to a new manner of living, and a new road on which to walk that leads to immortality and eternal life. It was never intended as a dead end. It was intended to open a glorious and wonderful way of life to all who would walk in obedience to the commandments of God.” WayMadeEndsFatherChurchWalksWonderfulSeriousEternalObedienceImmortalityGloriousHeavenlyPassagesCommandmentsEternal LifeCovenantHeavenly FatherBaptismGatewaysDead EndsSerious ThingsNew RoadsCommandments Of God Author:Gordon B.
