Residual Goodness

"The reason for not going out and sinning all you like is the same as the reason for not going out and putting your nose in a slicing machine: its dumb, stupid, and no fun. Some individual sins may have pleasure still attached to them because of the residual goodness of the realities they are abusing: adultery can indeed be pleasant and tying one on can amuse. But betrayal, jealousy, love grown cold, and the gray dawn of the morning after are nobody's idea of a good time."

- Robert Farrer Capon

Discipleship

"Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ."

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Your Future

"Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future."

- Robert H. Schuller

Test of Courage

- Robert Ingersoll

Deliberate Confidence

"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time."

- Oswald Chambers
