Better To Give Than Receive

The truly humble person never seeks anything for themselves—but God will make sure that they gain all they need and more.

Slow Suicide

How rare is the person who is truly concerned about the well-being of everyone! And how exhausted they must be! It is truly a form of suicide—but one that God will reward with life.

Who Am I? And How Many of Me Are There?

Every person is fundamentally schizophrenic—of two or more minds. Rare is the person who is so clear-minded to know who they really are in all of their aspects. To know oneself is to know through which lenses one sees the world.

Think on These Things...

What a man thinks, he does. What he does, he is. Character is ultimately based on thought. Thus, what creates our thought creates us.

Surrender

The best person is the one who sacrifices themselves at God’s command. The worst person is the one who claims to speak for God but spouts their own opinions and seeks harm. Religion is both the greatest boon and the worst deception.

Mean People Suck-- Even When It's Me

No matter how evil someone else is, it is no excuse for you to act in an evil way yourself. We will not be judged based on what someone else does, but only on our own actions. Only the actions we do for the benefit of others—including God—will be considered good.

"All You Need Is Love"... Yeah, right

“Humane”, “right”, and “loving” are all in the eye of the beholder. It’s easy to say “Love, love, love” as a world principle. It’s harder for everyone to agree what love is. It’s better just to trust what God says about these things and leave the arguments behind.
