Excerpt from The Practice of Christianity
Many virtues are required for the support of evil causes. Goodness must consist in what makes a man not only a good instrument but an instrument of good. Our Lo..l's unique goodness consisted not more in loyalty of will than in insight into God's will. His loving kindness gave Him this insight. In His criticism of life jesus csalts natural kindness and trustfulness as the foundation of all goodness. Distinction between a good and bad heart simple and instinctive. We do not make good-heartedness equival t to goodness because we think it could not succeed in the world: our Lord believed it to be the regulative virtue necessary to give all others survival value. But tender-heartedness cannot prevail till our present customs of thought are destroyed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the heart of Christian practice and the life that Christians are called to live. It contrasts the traditional teachings of Christianity with the true, practical teachings of Jesus Christ, as exemplified in his life. The author suggests we re-examine the world around us and our participation in harmful customs that are accepted as Christian and good. Jesus taught a life of love, kindness, and forgiveness of others and this book asks us to consider what it would look like to put these teachings into action rather than simply adhering to traditions. A re-examination of Jesus' teachings reveals a vision of a world far different than the one we live in today. The author asks us to take an honest look at ourselves, our world, and our relationship with God. Where our traditional practices fall short, we must look to the teachings of Jesus for guidance. This book encourages Christians to live a life that reflects their faith beyond the walls of the church and into the world around them and offers practical examples of how to do this.
