In The Time We Have It Is Surely Our Duty To Do All The Good We Can To All The People We Can In All The Ways We Can.

When We Accept Christ We Enter Into Three New Relationships: (1) We Enter Into A New Relationship With God. The Judge Becomes The Father; The Distant Becomes The Near; Strangeness Becomes Intimacy And Fear Becomes Love. (2) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Our Fellow Men. Hatred Becomes Love; Selfishness Becomes Service; And Bitterness Becomes Forgiveness. (3) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Ourselves. Weakness Becomes Strength; Frustration Becomes Achievement; And Tension Becomes Peace.

Strict Orthodoxy Can Cost Too Much If It Has To Be Bought At The Price Of Love. All The Orthodoxy In The World Will Never Take The Place Of Love.

It May Be That One Of Our Great Faults In Prayer Is That We Talk Too Much And Listen Too Little. When Prayer Is At Its Highest We Wait In Silence For God's Voice To Us; We Linger In His Presence For His Peace And His Power To Flow Over Us And Around Us; We Lean Back In His Everlasting Arms And Feel The Serenity Of Perfect Security In Him.
