“Our preaching does not stop with the law. That would lead to wounding without binding up, striking down and not healing, killing and not making alive, driving down to hell and not bringing back up, humbling and not exalting. Therefore, we must also preach grace and the promise of forgiveness - this is the means by which faith is awakened and properly taught. Without this word of grace, the law, contrition, penitence, and everything else are done and taught in vain.” MeanDoeDoneLawHealingHellGraceAliveTaughtPromiseDown AndKillingDrivingVainPreachingAwakenedBindingHumblingPenitenceContrition Author:Martin Luther

“I know that there's this one Albanian myth that's always reflected on, and I think it reflects on the actual core culture. That myth is called The Besa. B-E-S-A. The Besa is a word that Albanians use to mean avow, but it's such a strong promise, that even past death, one cannot break that promise. It is unfathomable. So if you give someone your besa, life or death, heaven or hell, you have to fulfill that besa.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingMeanUsePastCultureStrongHeavenBreakHellPromiseMythCoreUnfathomableLife Or DeathAlbanianHeaven Or Hell Author:Masiela Lusha
