“If you have played the fool and exalted yourself, or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth!
For as churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife” (Proverbs 30:32-33).
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us" (Romans 5:1-5).
Madness of life and out of mind, sound life in a sound mind.
(I may be mad of life, but I am not out of my mind. I am speaking to you in a sound mind.)
All O.K.s are not O.K. Some are hypocritical cover ups, some are matters of courtesy, and others are remedies to compromise and means to set free. All 'fines' are not fine. Some are penalties, some are avoidance of embarrassment, others are free of suspicion and are expressions of wellness.
Unity is not in appearance, but it is in character, truth, and love from above.
No one is a champion of death or of life.
