“If God suffers in the flesh when He is made man, should we not rejoice when we suffer, for we have God to share our sufferings? This shared suffering confers the kingdom on us. For he spoke truly who said, 'If we suffer with Him, then we shall also be glorified with Him' (Rom. 8:17).” IfsMenShouldMadeSaidChristianSufferingShareFleshKingdomsSpokesOrthodoxRejoiceOrthodox Christian Author:Maximus the Confessor
“Gastronomers of the year 1825, who find sateity in the lap of abundance, and dream of some newly-made dishes, you will not enjoy the discoveries which science has in store for the year 1900, such as foods drawn from the mineral kingdom, liqueurs produced by the pressure of a hundred atmospheres; you will never see the importations which travelers yet unborn will bring to you from that half of the globe which has still to be discovered or explored.

“In the beginning, after this earth was prepared for man, the Lord commenced his work upon what is now called the American continent, where the Garden of Eden was made.

“Suppose you found your brother in bed with your wife, and put a javelin through both of them. You would be justified, and they would atone for their sins, and be received into the Kingdom of God. I would at once do so, in such a case; and under the circumstances, I have no wife whom I love so well that I would not put a javelin through her heart, and I would do it with clean hands.... There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it.” MenWellsHeartMadeHandsWould BeFoundChristSinPayCasesWifeBloodBrotherCircumstancesBedCleanDebtKingdomsJustifiedKingdom Of GodWipeCovenantYour BrotherClean HandsJavelin Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses

“God build’s God’s kingdom. But God ordered this world in such a way that His own work within that world takes place through the human beings that reflect His image. That is central to the notion of being made in God’s image. He has enlisted us to act as His stewards in the project of creation. So the objection about us trying to build God’s kingdom by our own efforts, though it seems humble and pious, can actually be a way of hiding from responsibility, of keeping one’s head well down when the boss is looking for volunteers.” WorldWayTryingHumansWellsMadeSeemsHuman BeingsEffortResponsibilityCreationThis WorldProjectsNotionHumbleKingdomsBossHidingVolunteerObjectionsPiousStewardsEnlisted Author:N.

“People do this a lot. They don't seem to realise that the future is just like now, but in a little while, so they say they're going to do things in anticipation of some kind of seismic shift in their worldview that never actually materializes. But everything's not going to be made of leather, the world won't stink of sherbet. Tomorrow is not some mythical kingdom where you'll grow butterfly wings and be able to talk to animals -- you'll basically feel pretty much the same way you do at the moment.” PeopleWorldWayFeelsKindLittlesMadeMomentsSeemsAbleGrowsAnimalTomorrowWingsKingdomsRealisingButterflyAnticipationWorldviewLeatherStinkButterfly WingsSherbet Author:Russell Brand
