മണലിൽ പണിതവനും ശിലയിൽ പണിതവനും എന്നൊക്കെ ക്രിസ്തു പറയുന്നതിനിടയിലെ അകലമാണിത്. അറിവ് ഒരു മണൽക്കൂമ്പാരമാണ്. അതിനുമുകളിൽ ക്രിസ്തുവിനോടുള്ള നിലപാടിന്റെ വീട് പണിയുകയാണെങ്കിൽ നാളെ തീർച്ചയായും കാറ്റും മഴയുമുണ്ടാകുമ്പോൾ അതിളകിത്തുടങ്ങും. വ്യത്യസ്തമോവിപരീതമോ ആയ ഏറ്റവും ചെറിയ അറിവുപോലും കാറ്റായും മഴയായും മാറി ഭവനത്തെ ഉലയ്ക്കും. എന്നാൽ, അനുഭവങ്ങളുടെ ശിലമേൽ വീടുപണിയുക. കാറ്റും മഴയുമൊന്നും ആർക്കും ഒഴിവാക്കാനാവില്ല. പക്ഷേ, അതിനെയും അതിജീവിക്കാൻ ഈ ശിലയ്ക്ക് കെല്പുണ്ട്. നാളെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ അനർത്ഥങ്ങളുടെ അഗ്നിമഴ പെയ്താലും ദൈവം സ്നേഹമാണെന്ന അനുഭവദാർഢ്യങ്ങളെ ഉലയ്ക്കാൻ അവമതിയാവുന്നില്ല. ↗
The Bible speaks of the Word of God as added. Sometimes it's planted by the wayside, and nothing grows there. Sometimes it's sown among the thorns and represents the person who makes the decision an then goes back to his old life of bars and chasing women or whatever. A third seed is sown among the rocks. There's sand and dirt between the rocks, and when it rains you'll see a stalk of green coming up. But on the first day with sunshine it wilts because there is no room for roots. The fourth seed is planted on fertile soil, and finally it takes hold and has a chance to grow and live. That's what happened to me. ↗

Your call is clear, cold centuries across; You bid me follow you, and take my cross, And daily lose myself, myself deny, And stern against myself shout ‘Crucify’. My stubborn nature rises to rebel Against your call. Proud choruses of hell Unite to magnify my restless hate Of servitude, lest I capitulate. The world, to see my cross, would pause and jeer. I have no choice, but still to persevere To save myself – and follow you from far, More slow than Magi-for I have no star. And yet you call me still. Your cross Eclipses mine, transforms the bitter loss I thought that I would suffer if I came To you- into immeasurable gain. I kneel before you, Jesus, crucified, My cross is shouldered and my self denied; I’ll follow daily, closely, not refuse For love of you and man myself to lose. ↗
It is He Who sent down to thee, in truth, the Book (Quran), confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (Quran) (of judgment between right and wrong). - Holy Quran 3:3 ↗
In Christ, for the first time, we see that in God himself there exists--within his inseparable unity--the distinction between the Father who gives and the Gift which is given (the Son), but only in the unity of the Holy Spirit. ↗
The sinners to whom Jesus directed His messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or Sunday church. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them. On the other hand, the self-righteous placed their trust in the works of the Law and closed their hearts to the message of grace. ↗
Okay," Christian said with a great show at maintaining his patience. "So you can't dance. But you could at least talk to the woman." Julius frowned and avoided his gaze. "I am talking." "You aren't," Christian insisted. "You haven't said more than a handful of words." Scowling, he admitted, "I'm practicing in my head." Christian blinked at this. "Practicing?" "Well, you don't just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind," Julius said with exasperation. "I have to approach this carefully, so I'm practicing." "In your head?" Christian clarified. "Yes." Julius nodded. "In my head." "Right....Good, good," he nodded, and then said "but you know what would be even better?" Julius raised his eyebrows with interest. "What?" "Talking to her OUT LOUD!" Christian snapped. "Jesus Christ, Father, you're as old as the earth. You run a huge corporation, dealing with people-even women-day in day out. Surely you can string a couple of words together and manage a little conversation with the woman? ↗
