religious law may
Religious faith may very well be considered a science, for it responds invariably to certain formulae. Perform the technique of faith according to the laws which have been proved workable in human experience and you will always get a result of power.
taken people may
In a large congregation, while there is a wide diversification of interest, it is also true that there are only a few basic human problems. It must also be taken into consideration that people are people regardless of who they are or what their backgrounds may be. There are certain deep universal appeals to human interest and to these human nature always responds.
inspirational giving may
We may live victoriously, not because we have any power within ourselves, but because when we give ourselves to God, He gives himself to us.
understanding may overcoming
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
recovery character may
Even if you may be down to the worst, the best is potentially within you. You only have to find it, release it, and rise up with it. This requires courage and character, to be sure, but the main requirement is faith. Cultivate faith and you will have the necessary courage and character.
children evil may
They are inherently good -- the bad reactions aren't basic. Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil -- but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good. I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency -- you may say goodness -- of the human being
religion may matter
There are no circumstances in your life where God will not stand will not stand with you and help you, no matter what the trouble may be.
may essentials fairness
I've got great faith in the essential fairness and decency - you may say goodness - of the human being.
mistake forever may
Just as we may learn from our successes (how to do it) so also can we learn from our mistakes (how not to do it). It just isn't in the cards that anybody should get by forever without making mistakes and perhaps sometimes making costly ones.
advance blessings bring character designed double help hurt interests people refrain remarks shrewd turn
Never say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover... refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone's disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and in every way possible, do good, help people and bring blessings into their lives.
difficult downhill duck hardest left problems
Don't duck the most difficult problems. That just insures that the hardest part will be left when you're most tired. Get the big one done - it's downhill from then on.
arise belief morning three
First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, ''I believe,'' three times.
enthusiasm speakers-and-speaking talk
Be interesting, be enthusiastic... and don't talk to much.
dark matter raise seem sights
No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilites-always see them- for they are always there.
