Ye Children Of Promise Who Are Awaiting

More From Bernard De Mandeville

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.
Afterlife People Drug
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.
Long Feelings Promise
The best definition i can find of faith is the dependence upon the veracity of another. the bible definition in the 11th chapter of hebrews is, 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' in other words, faith says amen to everything that god says. faith takes god without any ifs, if god says it, faith says i believe it; faith says amen to it.
Believe Substance Definitions
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.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
When a man is in god's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives god glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. it is not only prayer that gives god glory but work. smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives god some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.

Horse Wish Beggar
Horses (thou say'st) and asses men may try, and ring suspected vessels ere they buy; but wives, a random choice, untried they take; they dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake; then, nor till then, the veil's removed away, and all the woman glares in open day.
