    Almost every human being has

    some one thing which is held on to

    as a pet evil, and which the entrance

    into the kingdom of heaven requires

    as a part of the price of admission

    Riches have nothing

    directly to do with

    entrance into

    the Kingdom of Heaven,

    but the love 

    of wealth does

    Wealth in itself, is not a curse,

    but the love of riches many times

    leads to such devotion to the things

    of this world that the soul becomes blinded

    to the beautiful attractions of the spiritual realities

    of the kingdom of God on earth and to the

    joys of eternal life in heaven

    There is no sin

    in having honest possessions

    on earth

    provided our treasure

    is in heaven…

    Seek the greater thing,

    and the lesser will be found therein;

    ask for the heavenly,

    and the earthly shall be included

    The shadow is certain to

    follow the substance

    When you forgive your brother

    in the flesh, you thereby create

    the capacity in your own soul

    for the reception of the reality of

    God’s forgiveness

    of your own misdeeds

    God’s forgiveness is made actually available

    and is personally experienced by man

    just in so far as he forgives his fellows

    Yo can cultivate gracefulness,

    but graciousness is the aroma

    of friendliness which emanates

    from a love-saturated soul

    Divine justice is

    so eternally fair

    that it unfailingly

    embodies

    understanding

    mercy

    Your inability or unwillingness to forgive

    your fellows is the measure of your immaturity,

    your failure to attain adult sympathy,

    understanding, and love

    You hold grudges and nurse vengefulness

    in direct proportion to your ignorance

    of the inner nature and true longings

    of your children and your fellow beings

    Love is the outworking

    of the divine

    and inner urge of life,

    it is founded on understanding,

    nurtured by unselfish service 

    and perfected in wisdom

    …a tremendous responsibility

    rests upon all earthly fathers

    so to live and order their homes

    that the word father becomes

    worthily enshrined in the minds

    and hearts of all growing children

    You can know the truth, and you can live the truth;

    you can experience the growth of truth in the soul

    and enjoy the liberty of enlightenment in the mind,

    but you cannot imprison truth in formulas, codes,

    creeds or intellectual patterns of human conduct

    Static truth is dead truth,

    and only dead truth can be held as a theory

    Living truth is dynamic

    and can enjoy only an experiential existence

    in the human mind
