“Be watchful and diligent in your service to God, and often think of why you came to Christ and why you were separated from the world. Was it not so that you might live for God and become a spiritual person?
Be fervent then in moving forward, for in a short time you will receive the reward for your efforts, and you will have nothing to fear or be sad about when you die.
So work a little now, for you will have great rest later – yes, perpetual joy.”
“Religious people who do not live disciplined lives are open to great evil that could ruin their souls.
Those who seek freedom and ease will always live in distress, for one thing or another will always displease them.”
Thomas aKempis (1379-1471)
“You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.” Gal 5:13 (NIV) -=db=-
