Without exception, everyone of them is a perversion of something which is in itself good. Immorality, impurity, licentiousness are perversions of the sexual instinct which is in itself a lovely thing and a part of love. Idolatry is a perversion of worship, and was begun as an aid to worship.

A young man once fell in love with a girl and saw the starlight in her eyes when he proposed. He bought a ring to give her but he was poor, and it wasn’t a very big diamond. He said to her apologetically, "It is not a very big stone." But she replied, "It is as big as we make it."

There is a story of a young man who came to D.L. Moody’s church and for six weeks preached revival from the single text of John 3:16. After seeing the great number of people saved and being himself moved, Moody said, “Heretofore I had been preaching on the [judgment, the wrath, the perdition and

Feel the Nails by Ray Boltz
Does He still feel those nails
Every time I fail

I love the Far Side cartoons. Gary Larson had a knack for making us realize the obvious. In one particular cartoon, there were a group of scientists gathered around another scientist. The one in the middle was normal looking, but the others were grotesque. Huge eyes, hideous noses, monstrous lips,
