The fear of hell, or aiming to be blest, savors too much of private interest.

The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er; So calm are we when passions are no more!

Tea does our fancy aid, Repress those vapours which the head invade, And keeps that palace of the soul serene.

Could we forbear dispute, and practise love, We should agree as angels do above.

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else, but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.

Salvation brings the soul a deep awareness of God's love. Life takes on more meaning, for it now has a purpose.

Despite the best efforts of apologists like William Lane Craig, the 'evidence' for Christianity's truth is, in truth, not the kind that science will or should ever admit. We believers mean something different by the word: something that puts faith permanently in the category of irreproducible results.

God is being taken out of schools; children are not being raised in church learning the word; many parents are living lives unto themselves, exalting substance rather than Jesus Christ, and those looking for answers are going to church and finding the word is not being preached. There are consequences to these decisions.
