Christ didn't waste his time trying to change the social order. Christ spent all his time fighting sin. Therefore it behooves the witnesses of Christ to say that we do not have to abolish capitalism and establish socialism or communism, that sin can flourish under those systems as well. Christianity is not opposed to any social order, but to sin.
~ John H. Mccomb ~

Had I not sinned what would there be for you to pardon. My fate has given you the opportunity for mercy.

After the first blush of sin comes its indifference.

These days, the wages of sin depend on what kind of deal you make with the devil.

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
