The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is
identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply
opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is
cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse
than the first one.
-H. L. Mencken

[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon-laughter. Power,
money, persuasion, supplication, persecution-these can lift at a colossal
humbug-push it a little-weaken it a little, century by century; but only
laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of
laughter nothing can stand.
-Mark Twain

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and
moral courage so rare.

The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical
invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.

Moses, Jesus, and one other are out playing golf one day. Moses pulls up to
the tee and drives a long one. It lands in the fairway but rolls directly
toward a water trap. Quickly Moses raises his club, the water parts and it
rolls to the other side safe and sound.

Next, Jesus strolls up to the tee and hits a nice long one directly toward
the same water trap. It lands directly in the center of the pond and kind of
hovers over the water. Jesus casually walks out on the pond and chipps it up
onto the green.

The third individual gets up and sort of randomly whacks the ball. It heads
out over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It bounces
off a truck and hits a nearby tree. From there it bounces onto the roof of a
nearby shack and rolls down into the gutter, down the downspout, out onto
the fairway and right toward the forementioned pond. On the way to the pond,
it hits a little stone and bounces out over the water and onto a lily pad
where it rests quietly. Suddenly, a very large bullfrog jumps up on the lily
pad and snatches the ball into his mouth. Just then, an eagle swoops down
and grabbs the frog and flies away. As they pass over the green, the frog
squeals with fright and drops the ball which bounces right into the hole for
a beautiful hole in one.

Moses turns to Jesus and says, "I hate playing with your Dad."

Jesus said, Whom do men say that I am?

And his disciples answered and said, Some say you are John the Baptist
returned from the dead; others say Elias, or other of the old prophets.

And Jesus answered and said, But whom do you say that I am?

Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Logos, existing in the Father as His
rationality and then, by an act of His will, being generated, in
consideration of the various functions by which God is related to his
creation, but only on the fact that Scripture speaks of a Father, and a Son,
and a Holy Spirit, each member of the Trinity being co-equal with every
other member, and each acting inseparably with and interpenetrating every
other member, with only an economic subordination within God, but causing no
division which would make the substance no longer simple."

And Jesus, answering, said, "What?"

the King of Righteousness..He's the King of the Ages...He's the King of
Heaven..He's the King of Glory..He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of

Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. My
King is a sovereign King. No means of measure can define His limitless love.
No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His
shoreless supply. No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings.
He's enduringly strong..He's entirely sincere..He's eternally steadfast..He's

civilization..He stands in the solitude of Himself..He's august..He's
unique..He's unparalleled..He's unprecedented..He's the loftiest idea in
literature..He's the highest personality in philosophy..He's the supreme
problem in higher criticism..He's the fundamental doctrine of true
theology..He's the cardinal necessity for spiritual religion..He's the
miracle of the age.. He's the superlative of everything good that you choose
to call Him..He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient Saviour.. I
wonder if you know Him today?

tried..He sympathizes and He saves..He strengthens and sustains..He guards
and He guides..He heals the sick..He cleanses lepers..He forgives
sinners..He discharges debtors..He delivers captives..He defends the
feeble..He blesses the young..He serves the unfortunate..He regards the

never changes..His word is enough..His grace is sufficient..His reign is
righteous..and His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. I wish I could
describe Him to you, but He's indescribable..He's incomprehensible..He's
invincible..He's irresistible.

Well, you can't get Him out of your mind..You can't get Him off of your
hand..You can't out live Him, and you can't live without Him..The Pharisees
couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him..Pilate couldn't
find any fault in Him..The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to
agree..Herod couldn't kill Him..Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave
couldn't hold Him. Yea!!!, that's my King, that's my King.

when you get through with all the forevers, then.. AMEN!..AMEN!
