“If God loves his children one-half as well as I do mine, he can never inflict endless misery upon them. If Jesus is as merciful and impartial to his brethren as Joseph was to his, he will never suffer them to perish in a barren land while the riches of his grace endure, or the [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #231
“As the mother may permit her well-loved child liberties which may lead it to some pain, to the end of its discipline, but not liberties that will involve it in utter ruin; as she may allow it to stumble over a clod, but not off a precipice; as she may suffer it, if it will [...]

Unitarian-Puddingists
Calling oneself a Unitarian-Universalist is the denominational equivalent of the opening scene in the original Star Wars movie, when the Imperial star destroyer flies over the camera and just keeps passing and passing for what seems like an eternity. But cheer up, because things could’ve been much worse: you might’ve ended up as a Unitarian-Puddingist. [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #230
“The fact that man was created by a God of infinite love, wisdom, power, and justice, is a sufficient guaranty that such existence will not in any case prove an endless curse. Infinite love would desire the final happiness of all. Infinite wisdom would arrange a perfect plan, which, when carried through, would secure the [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #229
“We do not believe any of the forms or doctrinal statements of any of the churches in Christiandom is itself spirit. No Bible word as it rests upon ordinary printed pages is itself spirit. Forms, dogmas, the most sacred words, all become spirit to mankind, only when they are refilled by the spirit which God [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #227
“Oh, yes, there’s a brite clime, a brite world of joy,
Where love’s blossoms fade not, nor death can destroy,
Where the pure and the good their sweet influence impart:
In the friendship of heaven is the home of the heart.
There the sad heart will rest from its sorrow and pain,
And the glad heart its blissful emotions retain;
There [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #227
“Since the birth of Christianity its success has depended upon the amount of the missionary spirit possessed by those who have been leaders, and others who have caught the spirit from them. It has not always been under an organized form of missionary effort; but the work has been accomplished by that spirit. The birth [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #226
“And in the world
Where all the air is like the breath of peace,
Where earth’s wild tumult and its passions cease,
Where all the sorrows we have known below
Shall into pleasure-blossoms bud and blow,
Where bonds are broken, and where barriers fall,
Where heart hears heart, and soul to soul doth call,
Where speech is true, where all things fair [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #225
“Life, life! ‘t is singing in the rills,
And piping in the meadows,
‘Tis bursting from the gray old trees
That cast their ghostly shadows;
The bluebirds and the robins now
Awaken sweet reflection;
All things are typical this morn
Of life and resurrection:
I cannot tune my heart to woe
In such a world of glory
When every year repeats anew
The gospel’s gracious story.”
–Mrs. [...]
