“If Jesus is a teacher only, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if by being born again from above we know Him first as Savior, we know that He did not come to teach us only. He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us.” IfsKnowsWayShouldFirstsSpiritJesusCan DoBornTeachTeacherHolyStandardsStatementsHoly SpiritSaviorSermonsBorn AgainSermon On The Mount Book:Studies in the Sermon on the Mount Source: Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
“Hear Mass daily; it will prosper the whole day. All your duties will be performed the better for it, and your soul will be stronger to bear its daily cross. The Mass is the most holy act of religion; you can do nothing that can give greater glory to God or be more profitable for your soul than to hear Mass both frequently and devoutly. It is the favorite devotion of the saints.” GivingSoulWholeInspirationFaithCan DoGreaterDutyBearsHolyMassGloryCrossesStrongerCatholicSaintDevotionYour SoulProfitableGlory Of God Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“I long to see Christians get beyond themselves and start seeing the glory of God as it pertains to their own life. We need great people who understand that their success is wrapped up in the sovereignty of God. If we can do that, a faith, power, energy and zeal will emerge that will take us forward in the things of the Holy Spirit. We must become overwhelmed with who God wants to be for us!” PeopleIfsWantNeedsLongChristianSpiritEnergyCan DoSeeingHolyGloryHoly SpiritSovereigntyOverwhelmedZealGreat PeopleGlory Of GodSovereignty Of God Author:Graham Cooke

And John [Hurt] is telling me the story as he's sitting in that witness chair, and they're putting the final touches of makeup on. And he goes, "Hold on a second," to stop his story so he can do the take. And he does this incredible take. They go, "Cut." And then immediately John goes, "Anyways, so Alec, he's playing the chess."

“Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.” KnowsMenMindMayLittlesHas BeensEndsMatterGovernmentReligionForceCan DoChurchFreedomResultsSubjectsFashionAmountNeededHolyAtheistTyrannyOppressionConquerMotiveBombsCensorshipSecrecyFree ManAtomic BombRacksEnd ResultsKeystones Author:Robert A.

“I had the same sensation as when we watch someone sleep. When asleep we all become children again. Perhaps because in the state of slumber we can do no wrong and are unconscious of life, the greatest criminal and most self- absorbed egotist are holy, by a natural magic, as long as they're sleeping. For me there's no discernible difference between killing a child and killing a sleeping man.” MenChildrenLongSelfStatesCan DoNaturalDifferencesSleepWatchesMagicHolyKillingCriminalsUnconsciousSensationsSlumberSelf Absorbed Author:Fernando Pessoa
