A slip from the desk

Slip 8D0A

Sure, if you saw your friend in hell, you would persuade him hard to come thence, if that would serve ; and why do you not now persuade him to prevent it? The charity of our ignorant forefathers may rise up in judgment against us, and condemn us. They would give all their estates almost, for so many masses, or pardons, to deliver the souls of their friends from a feigned purgatory, and we will not so much as importunately admonish and entreat them, to save theme from the certain flames of hell ; though this may be effectual to do them good, and the other will do none (403). Hadst thou rather he should burn for ever in hell, than thou shouldst lose his favour, or the maintenance thou hast from him? (408)

2026–27 Bible Reading Challenge

  • Help you actually succeed. This plan is practical, realistic, and guilt-free. Life happens. We get it.
  • Get you inviting others. The feast isn't meant to be eaten alone. We want you reading with friends, family, and fellow believers.
  • Missed a day or a whole week? Don't try to catch up. If you skipped breakfast and lunch, you don't need to eat them before dinner. Start with today's reading.
  • Same page, many traditions. Our focus stays on the text itself. That frees us to encourage one another across differences and trust the Spirit with the rest. We're sharing a love of Scripture, not settling arguments.
  • Nothing to buy. No subscriptions, no products, no fees. Invite your friends freely.
