The true Son left his home with the Father and went to the cross so that we who had run from the Father could be welcomed as sons.Story of the Word:- Jonathan Leeman Meditations on the Narrative of Scripture (Wipf and Stock, 2017). (140)
If you believe that final justice is up to you to administer, you’ll either become an oppressor yourself, or you’ll give up on the possibility of justice altogether. But when you trust that God will ultimately take care of justice, you can seek to overcome evil with good in a way that stirs repentance in your enemies and commends the gospel to all through your honourable living. Story of the Word: Meditations on the Narrative of Scripture (Wipf and Stock, 2017).(145)
You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy. --John Calvin (1509-1564)
But to dance in the streets because you had just given mothers the right to kill their own unborn child is not civilised. It is barbaric. Rather than progressing into being a more tolerant, open and respectful society, Ireland has regressed over 1500 years into his pre-Christian pagan past, where the weakest members of society are not tolerated and not respected. They are destroyed.- David Robertsonhttp://theweeflea.com/2018/05/27/ireland-regresses-sunday-bloody-sunday/
Europe learnt many things from the Islamic world, one of them being the idea of using the sword to promote religion. The Bible would allow a theologian to make a case for 'just war'. But no one can learn from Jesus or his apostles use of the sword to coerce Christianity. - Vishal Mangalwadi, The book that made your World, p 121
