IF THIS BE MADNESS, this thinking of other people before yourself and of God often and well. Then follow such madness for there is the hope of heaven in it.
It is certainly better than spending your life
trying to get all you can, keep all you can and let the other fellow get by as best he can.To every person who lives as if they believe that Christianity and Christ teachings are madness…I say, “If this be madness then perhaps we should double check our definition of sanity.”
Yes, I tell you this…my friends…you name me most of the pain and problems that you know of today and I will tell you that a tremendous, overwhelming percentage of them have come from breaking God’s commandments.
IT MAY BE MADNESS to imagine a world in which our noble thoughts have been translated into noble deeds.
It may be madness to imagine a world no longer selfish, or foolish, or temperamental, or angry, or doubting or sinful.
But if this be madness, then perhaps we should pray that everyone go mad.
Do you know what our greatest problem is? We are addicts. Addicted to compromise. Why? Because it is easier than taking a stand.
“Because thou art lukewarm, I will spew the out of my mouth” says the Bible.
And we in reply give the excuse “But I can’t stand the heat.”
We are a strange breed; mankind. We will organize and sacrifice and drive ourselves with an incessant urge to win wars against enemies from without; but we will not exert half the effort to defeat the enemies from within.
If we used half the dedication to win the battle of the soul we would come out such victors on the field of living that it would be difficult to believe. But we don’t.
We battled in Europe and Vietnam and Korea and Iraq and are still battling in Afghanistan . But the battle on for good and God the fields of eternity? That battle I fear too often we fight as if we are trying to lose it.

THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“A book superior in style and content.”
Quote from book below
No matter what he spoke, the same confusion as to who Lincoln really was, existed just as much in his time as in ours. Poor fellow, when he was through speaking, almost every newspaper in the North said he had extended an olive branch and almost every paper in the South that he extended a sword.
