An Essential Part Of Our Being

"In how many souls has not the very thought of a real God awakened a longing to be different, to be pure, to be good? The fact that this feeling is possible, that a soul can become dissatisfied with itself, reveals that God is an essential part of its being."

Freedom of Conscience

"It is easy to cry "Freedom" when some theological dictator has his foot on your neck. It is a more principled position, however, to cry for freedom when you are in the majority but still lift up your voice on behalf of new minorities."

True Faith

"The faith which will thus remove mountains is that confidence in God which comes from seeking nothing but His will. A man who was thus faithful would die of hunger sooner than say to the stone, 'Be bread.'"

Fruit
