“Meditate on the horrors of Hell, which will last for eternity because of one easily-committed mortal sin.”

He who knows what God is, studies to avoid sin.

However much we suffer for the love of Jesus Crucified, it is but little.

The want of proper examination, true contrition, and a firm purpose of amendment, is the cause of bad confessions, and of the ruin of souls.’

We offend God because we do not know His greatness.

Try hard to be among the few who are chosen. Think of the eternal flames of Hell, and how few there are that are saved.

The poor should live by alms.

My Christian faith is my backbone

The principle of the Inquisition was murderous. . . . The popes were not only murderers in the great style, but they also made murder a legal basis of the Christian Church and a condition of salvation.

Christians tend to motivate others with guilt. We tend to say: You would do this if you were really committed Christians, indicating that we are committed and all that is needed is for others to become as good as we are!

Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer keeps the Christian’s armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees.

Whatever solace the Christian faith could give was balanced by the anxiety it generated.

The Christian religion is a stranger to mere despotic power. The mildness so frequently recommended in the Gospel is incompatible with the despotic rage.

The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.
