Pàgina 56 - When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained ; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him ? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him ?

During a presidential campaign commercials flood the airwaves. Political commercials come in various time frames. They come...
Pàgina 83 - God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoso believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life...
Pàgina 9 - But, on the other hand, the young theologue is told that he needs to learn thoroughly before ordination that "while people have convictions, they are not very much given to making use of them, and treat them — especially moral and religious ones — very much as they do bric-a-brac, which is designed rather for decoration than for consumption.
Pàgina 31 - When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, ' Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord;' for he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken.
Pàgina 194 - ... utterly inadequate. I have tried it, and I know its worth and its worthlessness. The business of the church is to bring people into the Kingdom of Heaven, one by one. The unit method is the only method." Neither pulpit nor pew is flattered by the lecturer. If people do not go to church, we are told, "it is not the fault of the masses. People will fill the churches as fast as God fills the ministers.
