It Is A Good Thing To Let

Faith Cannot Be Inherited Or Gained By Being Baptized Into A Church. Faith Is A Matter Between The Individual And God.

Night And Day I Pondered Until I Saw The Connection Between The Justice Of God And The Statement That 'the Just Shall Live By His Faith.' Then I Grasped That The Justice Of God Is That Righteousness By Which Through Grace And Sheer Mercy God Justifies Us Through Faith. Thereupon I Felt Myself To Be Reborn And To Have Gone Through Open Doors Into Paradise.

Ultimately, However, Conflict Lies Not In Objective Reality, But In People's Heads. Truth Is Simple One Argument - Perhaps A Good One, Perhaps Not - For Dealing With The Difference. The Difference Itself Exists Because It Exists In Their Thinking.

People Go Through Three Conversions: The Conversion Of Their Head, Their Heart, And Their Pocketbook. Unfortunately, Not All At The Same Time.

I Am Not Of The Opinion That All The Arts Shall Be Crushed To Earth And Perish Through The Gospel, As Some Bigoted Persons Pretend, But Would Willingly See Them All, And Especially Music, Servants Of Him Who Gave And Created Them.
