Inspiring Promise Too Good To Be True

More From Dwight L. Moody

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.

The promise, made when i am in love and because i am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as i live, commits me to being true even if i cease to be in love. a promise must be about things that i can do, about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way. he might as well promise to never have a headache or always to feel hungry.

Always' was a promise! how can you just break the promise?" "sometimes people don't always understand the promises they're making when they make them," i said. isaac shot me a look. "right, of course. but you keep the promise anyway. that's what love is. love is keeping the promise anyway. don't you believe in true love?" i didn't answer. i didn't have an answer. but i thought that if true love did exist, that was a pretty good definition of it.
Believe Love Is People
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

When you say 'yes' or promise something, you can very easily deceive yourself and others also, as if you had already done what you promised. it is easy to think that by making a promise you have at least done part of what you promised to do, as if the promise itself were something of value. not at all! in fact, when you do not do what you promise, it is a long way back to the truth.

I promise to question everything my leaders tell me. i promise to use my critical faculties. i promise to develop my independence of thought. i promise to educate myself so i can make my own judgments.
