Accords With godliness.

And in order to battle unbelief effectively, we must press doubts and temptations into specific arguments. What specifically is being asserted or promised to us? Only then can we destroy the enemy’s false arguments with true ones.

In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people’s we do not accept them easily enough.

We need a great awakening to the truth and glory of Jesus Christ far more than we need a marriage amendment.

I think the addict is closer to the deepest truth than the mere moralist. He is looking for the very best thing in some of the very worst places. His demand for a state in which he transcends morality is very wrong, but it’s also very right. For we are designed for something beyond morality, something in which morality will be transformed. Mystical union with God.

Brother,
if 
any 
man 
thinks 
ill 
of 
you, 
do 
not 
be 
angry 
with 
him; for 
you 
are 
worse 
than 
he 
thinks 
you 
to
 be. 
If 
he 
charges 
you 
falsely 
on 
some 
point, 
yet 
be 
satisfied, 
for 
if 
he 
knew
you
 better he 
might 
change 
the 
accusation, 
and 
you 
would 
be 
no 
gainer 
by
 the 
correction. 
If 
you 
have 
your 
moral 
portrait 
painted, 
and 
it 
is ugly,
be 
satisfied; 
for 
it 
only 
needs 
a 
few 
blacker
touches, 
and 
it would 
be 
still 
nearer 
the 
truth.

Before satan can 666 it up, he gon’ bust through the sky and fix it up…

O what a library I have in God, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!…I have learned more divinity in these ten days that you have come to visit me, than I did in fifty years before.

I pray that the lord will thrill you with the rewards of purity. Starting with the gift of seeing God. ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’

To love God is something greater than to know Him.
