All the fruits of the spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. and the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing.

All The Fruits Of The Spirit Which

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that i have toward christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "by their fruits shall ye know them." i wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. and the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, i'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. and whether the man is an atheist or a christian, i would judge him by his fruits, and i have therefore many agnostic friends.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

Estate agents. you can't live with them, you can't live with them. the first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. with their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. if you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. there's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. estate agents. love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.

Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?

Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.

There's a wonderful old italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint,'dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery.' this lament goes on for months. finally the exasperated statue come to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust,'my son-please, please, please...buy a ticket.

All one's personality is embedded in gloves and hats after they've been good and used. show me a glove and i'll tell you the character of its owner.

My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix, as we've talked about. it has very little to do with what people think success is. i actually feel successful right now, even though i don't have an album out, or a video or a song on the radio, because i'm trying to be obedient to his will.

At some point, i had to make a decision: i could practice more and become a really great guitar player or i could work on writing better songs. there are only so many hours in the day, and i found writing songs more fulfilling than working on becoming this virtuoso guitar player.
