“Grace is a massively uncomfortable idea. This idea of “I didn’t earn this, I don’t deserve it, but you are giving it to me anyway”. A lot of people get bogged down in little details of the Bible, specifically in the Old Testament and Revelation, to avoid engaging the discomfort that I don’t like myself very much but God says He loves me.”

“If he could do it, the devil would lure us from the straight and narrow path a mile at a time. If not by a mile then by a yard or a foot. But Satan knows that he cannot expect us to leap from a righteous life into the depths of depravity in one sudden decision, so in most cases his enticements will be so subtle, so unnoticeable, that he may only gain an inch at a time. ‘It’s only a little sin,’ he mocks. ‘What can such a tiny indiscretion hurt? It’s harmless. Enjoy yourself. This is not important enough to deny yourself. Go ahead and try it this once.’ But through repetition of our sings those tiny inches soon add up to miles as we drift gradually into more serious sins.” Putting on the Armor of God, page 95, “Gradual temptations” (via scerythlabs)

If you see your neighbor sinning

simplyorthodox:

If you see your neighbor sinning, take care not to dwell exclusively on his faults. Try to think of the many good things he has done and continues to do. Many times when we do this, we come to the conclusion that our neighbor is a far better person than we are.

- St. Basil the Great

mormonistic: The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much hope as the strong. Yet it is oft the course of the deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring Missionary ponies!

“The eclipse of your faith, the darkness of your mind, the fainting of your hope, all these things are but parts of God’s method of making you ripe for the great inheritance upon which you shall soon enter. These trials are for the testing and strengthening of your faith—they are waves that wash you further upon the rock—they are winds which waft your ship the more swiftly towards the desired haven.” Charles Spurgeon (via foreverfindingthestrength)
