“The child, in danger of the fire, just clings to the fireman, and trusts to him alone. She raises no question about the strength of his limbs to carry her, or the zeal of his heart to rescue her; but she clings. The heat is terrible, the smoke is blinding, but she clings; and her deliverer quickly bears her to safety. In the same childlike confidence cling to Jesus, who can and will bear you out of danger from the flames of sin.” HeartChildrenJesusSinFireDangerBearsTerribleRaisesSafetySmokeFlamesHeatRescueLimbsZealChildlikeFireman Book:Around the Wicket Gate Source: Around the Wicket Gate

“For Paul 'righteousness' and 'justice' are the same word, as they were in Hebrew. Paul clearly believes that helping the poor is a central and ongoing part of Christian commitment, precisely because in Jesus Christ God has unveiled and launched his plan for the rescue, redemption and renewal of the whole creation. Justification and justice go very closely together.” BelieveWholeHelpingChristianTogetherJesusChristJusticePoorPlansCreationCommitmentJesus ChristRedemptionRighteousnessRescueJustificationRenewalOngoingHebrew Author:N.
