god running light
God is love. Wraith is how His love appears to us when we sin or rebel or run away from Him. The very light that is meant to help us appears to us as our enemy when we seek the darkness.
love stupid feelings
But how can we love someone if we don't like him? Easy-we do it to ourselves all the time. We don't always have tender, comfortable feelings about ourselves; sometimes we feel foolish, stupid, asinine, or wicked. But we always love ourselves: we always seek our own good. Indeed, we feel dislike toward ourselves, we berate ourselves, precisely because we love ourselves; because we care about our good, we are impatient with our bad.
god faces wraith
God's wraith is really only the face of love refused.
god writing men
Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.
god believe lovers
When we believe that God is something other than a lover, it is inevitable that we will sin.
love sin
Without that freedom to sin there is also no freedom to love.
love giving challenges
There is no effective rational answer to the challenge: "But give me a reason why I should love someone who does not deserve it." Love is the highest thing. There can be no higher reason to justify it.
god color white
Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.
baseball self games
The self is like a baseball. Throw it back to the divine pitcher who pitched it to you in the first place, and the game of love goes on. Hold it, and the game is over. That is the difference between Heaven and Hell.
catholic spirit holy
Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.
giving catholic want
I want to give moral relativism the good spanking it deserves.
catholic
You cannot be in love with love.
prayer catholic dinner
Prayer is like Thanksgiving dinner. It takes one hour to eat it and ten hours to prepare it.
faith inspiration fire
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
