Christ does not force our will. He takes only what we give Him. But He does not give Himself entirely until He sees that we yield ourselves entirely to Him. St. Teresa of Avila James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom,he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it. |
A DAILY DOSE FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2016
You can’t repent if you don’t believe in sin to repent of, and you can’t believe in sin if you don’t believe in a real moral law, because sin means disobeying that. Moral relativism eliminates that law, thus sin, thus repentance, thus salvation. Peter Kreeft Hebrews 13:8-9 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching. It is good to have our hearts strengthened by grace and not by foods, which do not benefit those who live by them. |

Thomas Jefferson Genesis 1:26-27, 31a Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness.
