Pascal quote

“It is dangerous to make man see too clearly his equality with the brutes without showing him his greatness. It is also dangerous to make his see his greatness too clearly apart from his vileness.

It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both. But it is very advantageous to show him both.

Man must not think that he is on a level either with the brutes or with the angels nor must he be ignorant of both sides of his nature; but he must know both.”

– Blaise Pascal, from his Pensees

Babies – natural & spiritual

Babies will put anything (Should I repeat?) ANYTHING in their mouth. Parents have to say,

“No, No, Hurt the baby.”

A spiritual child will but filthy doctrines/ideas in his mouth. A faithful pastor/older saint needs to say,

“No, No.” Please Listen!

SENSES in Hell

 

Don’t go to endless night; there is no sight.

Leave the broad road in haste; you won’t like its final taste.

Flee damnation and fear; it will not please your ear.

Hell is very real; run from its horrible feel.

Avoid (at all costs) hell, it’ll have an awful smell.

(If it promotes “Super Bowl Sunday” it is, with little doubt, in the latter, fearful category.)
