Slogans & Proverbs Archive
He that becomes elevated too much, will jump down (also literally so) and he that stares in the fire too much will jump into it!
In other words, if you get TOO high (not only on drugs and/or liquor!), you will come down and if you are too obsessed, you will victimize yourself (and others).
Born for Paradise, we get stuck in the universe, we all incur a blow; but there is hope . . .
Vice breeds more vice; but virtue encourages even more virtue!
Conversion=Heart Revolution;
True conversion (and repentence) is a matter of turning around in the heart (and not just in the mind or one's feelings).
Praying=Talking with God
Know the Lord, then you will know yourself!
Satan tempts; God tests!
Loneliness=Pain of being alone;
Solitude=Glory of being alone.
Constraint=Nobility
To remain faithful to Christ=To remain faithful to yourself and His calling for you.
Pride=Myopia!
He that is not small in faithful things, is not small in great things either!
You might notice that it should be: 'He that is faithful in small matters, is also faithful in great matters.'
Yet, it takes a certain measure of humility and of putting oneself down, to be able to remain faithful (small in pride) both in small and great things.
It is a kind of strength that enables one to handle also luxury.
Sin=Violence!
"The person that sins against me (true Wisdom), violates his/her own soul (Proverbs 8. 36)."
According to 1 Corinthians 1. 24 and 30 Christ Jesus is the Wisdom of God.
Praying=Persevering!
Sow a thought and you will reap an act. Sow an act and you will reap a habit. Sow a habit and you will reap
a character. Sow a character and you will reap an eternal destiny.
Singing=Praying Doubly!
Wicked people have no desire to sing (let alone in honor of God).
Beauty is but skindeep.
Many a man thinks that if only he would possess a beautiful woman, then he would be happy and everything would be alright. But that is not what Solomon meant when he said that 'He that has found a wife, has found a good thing and has obtained favor from the Lord.' At the end of his Proverbs he concludes: 'Gracefulness is deceit and beauty is vanity; but a woman that fears the Lord, will be praised.' And he could know it, for he had had a thousand wives!
True Love is the sum of all virtues.
(So also something like etiquette is based on the attention of love).
When the going gets tough, then the tough get going.
(And when the tough get going, then the going gets even tougher. And when the going gets even tougher, then the even tougher get going. And when the even tougher get going, the going gets toughest and when the going gets toughest the toughest get going and then victory is near!)
"Be not wise in your own eyes..." "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not even lean on your own understanding" (Prov. 3. 5 and elsewhere).
Therefore you must open yourself up to the Lord and so the level of intelligence is not static but dynamic!
Count your bills; count them one by one. Count your setbacks; count them one by one. Count the insults; count them one by one. And then you will never see God's love anymore in anyone . . .
When the churches are made from gold, then the christians are made from wood;
and when the churches are made from wood, then the christians are made from gold!
"Read your bible, pray everyday, if you want to grow!"
