The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news! The very heart of Jesus’ message is the good news coming of God’s reign. God is coming back to dwell with his people. This is why Jesus is called Immanuel, which means God with us. However, Jesus’ message receives mixed responses. Some people believe, and out of these Jesus chooses twelve disciples or followers. #RyanPhillippe

Still, most people simply watch him with amazement, never knowing quite what to make of him. The established religious leaders quickly become hostile toward him. Eventually this conflict escalates to the breaking point and the religious leaders conspire to have Jesus arrested and killed in a cross. However, defeat is actually God’s greatest victory. Jesus’ death turns the tables on God’s enemy and turns the World upside down. The purpose of religion is not to teach us how to die, but how to live. #RyanPhillippe

There is no way of joining the past with the present, and there is no difference between what is a moment past and what is eternally past. Free the imagination. You are capable of more than you can imagine—so imagine the ultimate. Strive for lasting quality. Good enough can always be improved. In my ideal relationship, I am looking for stability, and safety, and a reasonable amount of predictability. One likes to be done well by in every tense, past, present, and future. #RyanPhillippe

Successful love may sometimes use the language of flattery. However, hopeless love always speaks the truth. If love is a weakness, it is at least the noblest error we are liable to. I am looking for someone who will be committed and faithful. Never will I give my hand where my heart does not accompany it. #RyanPhillippe

Love is faith, and faith, like a gathered flower, will rootlessly live on. It is good for a relationship to have flexibility and plenty of breathing room. His heart assured him that a want of faith was a want of nature and that he loves having someone who affirms and supports what he is and what he does. #RyanPhillippe

Behind me is infinite power. Before me is endless possibility. Around me is boundless opportunity. Why should I fear? It is nice to have someone who gets me out of my head and out into life. You do not overwhelm with your needs. Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your spirit; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. #RyanPhillippe

Man has a more comprehensive view of the moon, than the man in the moon himself. Romance and excitement are two key component of a healthy relationship. To preserve Romance (we exchange a sky for a ceiling if we let it go), we must be inside the heads of our people as well as the hearts, more than shaking the kaleidoscope of hurried spectacles, in days of a growing activity of the head. #RyanPhillippe

Everyone wants someone who understands them, who one who gets who they are, and is similar. Your spouse should encourage you to grow, care for you, and you should care for them. Also, when individuals fully engage in community, their capacity for intimate relationships will automatically begin to change and improve. #RyanPhillippe

The Light of Life is full within me and around me. It shines forth into the Perfect Day. Oh, light within, lighting my path to peace, I adore and love You and I let You shine. Go forth and bless all who come to You, Light within. My Light radiates to all and through all. #RyanPhillippe

My Light has come. There came a day at Summer’s full entirely for me; I thought that such were the saints, where revelations be. The Sun, as common, went abroad, the flowers, accustomed, blew, as if no soul the solstice passed that maketh all things new. #RyanPhillippe

The tie was scarce profaned by speech; the symbol of a word was needless, as at sacrament the wardrobe of our Lord. Each was to each the sealed church, permitted to commune this time, lest we too awkward show as super of the Lamb. The hours slid fast, as hours will, clutched tight by greedy hands; so faces on two decks look back, bound to opposing lands. #RyanPhillippe

And, so, when all the time had failed, without external sound, each bound the other’s crucifix, we gave no other bond. Sufficient troth that we shall rise—deposed, at length, the grave—to that new marriage, justified through Calvaries of Love! You will be as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration. #RyanPhillippe
