“We are not on this planet to ask forgiveness of our deities”

“We ask for forgiveness. And we forgive others who ask us. In that way we can experience healing, healing in our souls.”

“When we turn from our sin, and have the blessed forgiveness of the Almighty, then we can ask Him to run things, and let Him be in charge.”

“We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends.”

“[...]we must ask ourselves whether we have not often been deceiving ourselves with our confession of sin to God, whether we have not rather been confessing our sins to ourselves and also granting ourselves absolution. And is not the reason perhaps for our countless relapses and the feebleness of our Christian obedience to be found precisely in the fact that we are living on self-forgiveness and not a real forgiveness.”

“We talk so much about leaving a better planet to our kids, that we forget to leave better kids to our planet.”
