Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
--------------------------------------------------------------
To succeed, we must first believe that we can.
The true call of a Christian is not to do extraordinary things, but to do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Christianity, with its doctrine of humility, of forgiveness, of love, is incompatible with the State, with its haughtiness, its violence, its punishment, its wars.








bah lol I'm just mad because of confirmation class yesterday... some of my beliefs conflict with my church....lol
good for staying with what you believe Sunira
The personal conviction is something thats hard to explain. But one day, if you ever pursue God, even if you're not so specific to pursue a certain God, He will know you are searching and he will provide the answers. Its like a treasure hunt, I guess. You've never seen the treasure, the treasure might very well be a myth, but when you find it its so amazing and more than you ever expected.
I guess, Im done with my essay.
But Im a Jesus Freak, and thats something I cant stop being.
Hehe.
Oh, this isnt about you, if you're wondering.
