Their patience, strong faith, tenacity, courage and fortitude, long suffering and understanding, persistence and power! They heard the purpose, and they took the journey. They heard the call, and they responded to the call. Their records are our examples; their footprints are our lessons! Their faith; our mirror! God has used some people before, and He can also use us also today!Remember their obedience and sacrifices; obedience and sacrifices that invoked Abraham to take steps to sacrifice his son Isaac; obedience and sacrifices for which reason Ananias and Sapphira had to die for not rendering a good account of their ‘own’ properties! Obedience and sacrifices which inspired the disciples of Jesus Christ to face death ending moments and still rejoiced in the Lord! Remember Elijah! Remember Elisha! Remember Abraham, Remember Moses! Remember Joshua! Remember Daniel! Remember Samuel! Remember David! Remember Peter! Remember the apostle Paul! Remember Silas! Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; keep your faith!

You are called to call; you are called to work; we are saved to proclaim salvation; we are in His vineyard to do something; let us do something noble and solemn for our Masters applauds!”

“To choose not to be part of a team or religion does not make me non-religious; for my religion is Truth and I am very much in love with God. I do not need to align myself with a specific messenger if I already understand God’s message. And the way I think is not considered ‘New Age’, since common sense is not new. So long as you act and speak with love and truth in you, and are good to your fellow man — in that you treat everybody as you would want yourself to be treated, your heart will stand by God regardless of the label you have assigned to your mind.Someone once said to me, “With all the religions in the world, they can’t all be right.”And I replied, “Well they can’t all be wrong either.”

“Art according to art! Love according to love! This is taking the salt away from Heaven. Do you think Our Savior tries to make Himself talked about? He does not ask to be recopied.

One must translate Him into all the living languages, and help Him to hide Himself to do good just as the Devil hides himself to do evil.”

“Could error arise from a true demonstration, and falsehood proceed from duly verified authority? In no domain could this easily happen, and when dealing with religious faith it could not happen at all. To say that religious faith is legitimate as a means of knowledge is to say that it is divine; for it has no value for those who proclaim it except what it derives from this transcendent origin.To say, on the other hand, that the use of the reason is legitimate and necessary, is to take the same thing as understood; for reason has no authority except as far as it represents the eternal order, that is to say, God once more. How could God be divided against Himself, teaching by revelation what He contradicts by the intelligence, and setting up in opposition to each other as two manifestly hostile things on the one side the Gospel, on the other the book of nature and of humanity, when these volumes, which we want to distinguish, are really the three volumes of one work?If the Gospel be properly understood—the living Gospel, I mean, such as the Church offers it—it cannot contradict nature, nor man, nor, consequently, that science which expresses them both. If science is in its own domain and operates according to its law, it cannot contradict the Gospel.”

“Preemptively interwoven into this ingeniously crafted existence is everything that we need to be everything that we are.”

“God has been FAITHFUL to me, that is why I have FAITH in Him.”
