Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
We definitely showed a month off, but I should have had us ready.
To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.
What happened on that day (of Easter) became, was and remained the centre around which everything else moves. For everything lasts its time, but the love of God - which was at work and was expressed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - lasts forever. Because this event took place, there is no reason to despair, and even when we read the newspaper with all its confusing and frightening news, there is every reason to hope.
Take your Bible and take your newspaper, and read both. But interpret newspapers from your Bible.
No one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do.
Christian worship is the most momentous, most urgent, most glorious action that can take place in human life.
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so?
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Jesus Christ, as he is attested to us in Holy Scripture, is the one Word of God whom we have to hear, and whom we have to trust and obey in life and in death.
Thus in this oneness Jesus Christ is the Mediator, the Reconciler, between God and man. Thus He comes forward to MAN on behalf of GOD calling for and awakening faith, love and hope, and to GOD on behalf of MAN, representing man, making satisfaction and interceding. Thus He attests and guarantees to God's free GRACE and at the same time attests and guarantees to God man's free GRATITUDE.
The resurrection of Jesus was like a boulder crashing into the pool of history.
Let us hear what the Bible says and what we as Christians are called to hear together: By grace you have been saved.
In the Church of Jesus Christ there can and should be no non-theologians.
