“There are many who want me to tell them of secret ways of becoming perfect and I can only tell them that the sole secret is a hearty love of God, and the only way of attaining that love is by loving. You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so you learn to love God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art.” MenWayWantArtI CanRunningSpeakPerfectLove IsSecretChristianityStudyMastersBecomingMereGod LoveWant MeSoleLoving YouPower Of LoveApprenticeHeartyBecoming Perfect Author:Saint Francis de Sales
“If Jesus is Lord then the only right response to him is surrender and obedience. He is Savior and he is Lord. We cannot separate his demands from his love. We cannot dissect Jesus and relate only to the parts that we like or need. Christ died so that we could be forgiven for managing our own lives. It would be impossible to thank Christ for dying and yet to continue running our own lives.” IfsNeedsWould BeRunningJesusChristChristianityLordImpossibleDyingDemandDiedResponseSurrenderChristian LifeRelateObedienceSaviorForgivenHis Love Author:Rebecca Pippert
“If Christianity were true religious persecution would become a pious and charitable duty: if God designs to punish men for their opinions it would be an act of mercy to mankind to extinguish such opinions. By burning the bodies of those who diffuse them many souls would be saved that would otherwise be lost, and so there would be an economy of torment in the long run. It is therefore not surprising that enthusiasts should be intolerant.” IfsMenShouldLongSoulBodyWould BeRunningLostReligiousChristianityOpinionEconomyMankindDesignDutyMercySavedBurningSurprisingLong RunsPersecutionTormentPiousCharitableReligious Persecution Book:The Martyrdom of Man Source: The Martyrdom of Man
