Grace, Faith & Life

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.

The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.

Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.

What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it’s to have any meaning in this world – and stop being its apologist.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.

‎5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

‎16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.

35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,
6 who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
