It was not the volume of sin that sent Christ to the cross; it was the fact of sin.
The purpose of prayer and of God's call in your life isn't to make you number one in the world's eyes but to make Him number one in your life.
Jesus came to save souls in his fathers name with love and only love that is why he turned up as a man, so why can't we see his real message?
The first and foremost reality is that suffering and death are not only enemies of life, but a means of reminding us of life's twin realities, love and hate.
I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.

In the pursuit of truth, intent is prior to content, or to the availability of it. The love of truth and the willingness to submit to its demands is the first step.
For many in our high-paced world, despair is not a moment; it is a way of life.
I am thoroughly convinced that when the last chapter of humanity is written, we will find that the implications of atheism, i.e., living without God, if consistently carried through, will have made life plainly unlivable within the limits of reason or even common sense
