Christian Morals

There are two separate and distinct kinds of Christian morals, so separate, so distinct, so unrelated that they are no more kin to each other than are archangels and politicians. The one kind is Christian private morals, the other is Christian public morals.

The loyal observance of Christian private morals has made this Nation what it is a clean and upright people in its private domestic life, an honest and honorable people in its private commercial life; no alien nation can claim superiority over it in these regards, no critic, foreign or domestic, can challenge the validity of this truth.

During 363 days in the year the American citizen is true to his Christian private morals, and keeps undefiled the nation’s character at its best and highest; then in the other two days of the year he leaves his Christian private morals at home, and carries his Christian public morals to the tax office and the polls and does the best he can to damage and undo his whole years faithful and righteous worth.

[Mark Twain]

James 1:8 ...  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

The Air Up There

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious.   And why shouldn't it be?  --it is the same the angels breathe.

[Mark Twain]

Psalm 148:2 ... Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Psalm 103:20 ... Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Isaiah 6:2-3 ... Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

John 1:51 ... And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. ❤

Be Kind

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

 [Mark Twain]

Ephesians 4:32 … And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Proverbs 25:21-22 … If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

2 Corinthians 3:12 … Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;♥
