The healing is my working out my salvation. The need constant because my desire for seperateness constantly wrestles with my need for oneness with Jesus. The search for Jesus is bigger, deeper and agonizing. ↗

Las religiones también son como el vino: hay gente a la que le sienta mal y gente a la que le sienta bien. ↗

For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for. ↗

If you think Atticus Finch went home at night and slept easy because he knew he was doing the right thing, you're wrong....Because even one voice in a wilderness of ignorance is a voice that is heard by someone. Because every woman and man, no matter their color or their religion, is entitled to a good defense. And because Jem and Scout would grow up to be like their father, spreading his wisdom, understanding his compassion and sharing his strength which are the only, the only weapons we have against injustice. ↗

Indeed taking all the evidence together, it is not too much to say that there is no single historic incident better or more variously supported than the Resurrection of Christ. Nothing but the antecedent assumption that it must be false could have suggested the idea of deficiency in the proof of it. ↗

What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean. ↗

Faith belongs to the human spirit. Faith is faith. Humanity is divided by religion, religion is the divider of humanity. If every human could be removed of their blindfolds and see that faith is in itself faith and that this is something which belongs to each and every human being, then at that time the dividers of religion will suddenly mean nothing and we will all see that we are united by faith in and of itself. There is only one faith and it is called faith. And no man needs to prove to another man that what he believes in exists, because even if it does not exist, his faith is his belief that it is there, that something is there, and that in itself is faith. So I do not need to prove to any man that what I believe in exists or not, there is no such contest between man, my faith breathes in the body of my belief; the fact that I believe is the breath of my faith. ↗

If you don't understand how something works, never mind: just give up and say God did it. You don't know how the nerve impulse works? Good! You don't understand how memories are laid down in the brain? Excellent! Is photosynthesis a bafflingly complex process? Wonderful! Please don't go to work on the problem, just give up, and appeal to God. ↗

واعلموا أن الأمة التي تفرط في عرضها لا يمكن أن تحتفظ بعد ذلك بأي شيء، فإن العرب حتى في جاهليتهم ما كانوا يرضون هذا- يعني السفور ومخالطة الرجال- لبناتهم أو لأخواتهم ولا لأمهاتهم، بل كانوا يتفاخرون بالعفة؛ وهذا عنترة بن شداد يقول: وأغضُّ طرفي إن بدت لي جارتي حتى يواري جارتي مأواها ↗
