It is always the case that when the Christian looks back, he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.

Men have never been good, they are not good and they never will be good.

Jews have God's promise and if we Christians have it, too, then it is only as those chosen with them, as guests in their house, that we are new wood grafted onto their tree.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

If your faith is opposed to experience, to human learning and investigation, it is not worth the breath used in giving it expression.
