ellauri053.html on line 928: How-ever simple, the strain on Father’s resources to maintain the school must have been great. The institution had no income of its own besides the annual Rs. 1,800 drawn from the Santiniketan Trust. For several years students were not charged fees of any kind. They were given not only free education, but food and very often clothing as well. The whole burden had to be borne by Father, when his own private income was barely Rs. 200 a month. My mother had to sell nearly all her jewellery for the support of the school, before she died in 1902.
ellauri053.html on line 983: Unfortunately just when he was feeling satisfied with the progress that was being made another mishap occurred in the family that greatly disturbed Father’s mind. My grandfather, the Maharshi, died in Calcutta. Father had to go there as soon as he heard about his illness and remained a long time there after grandfather’s death to settle business affairs consequent on the passing away of the head of a big family like ours. After the death of the Maharshi the family broke up — the members no longer lived together as in a Hindu joint family. (100 hengen huushollissa.)

ellauri161.html on line 103: Adoptionism, also called dynamic monarchianism, is an early Christian nontrinitarian theological doctrine, which holds that Jesus was adopted as the Son of God at his baptism, his resurrection, or his ascension. Under adoptionism Jesus is currently divine and has been since his adoption, although he is not equal to the Father, per "my Father is greater than I" and as such is a kind of subordinationism. Adoptionism is sometimes, but not always, related to denial of the virgin birth of Jesus. The other early Christology is "high Christology," which is "the view that Jesus was a pre-existent divine being who became a human, did the Father’s will on earth, and then was taken back up into heaven whence he had originally come," and from where he appeared on earth.

Jesus is The Word, and being The Word, Jesus made all things for God. But hey? If Jesus was the word, who was the spirit then? A silent partner I suppose.
xxx/ellauri420.html on line 277: Acedia means a lack or absence of care. And that’s deadly. Whenever we grow numb to Christ’s time and money saving work and the Father’s gracious free gifts by which he makes preserve of us, spiritual boredom takes hold, followed by apathy and subsequent despair. Where acedia takes root in the soul of a pastor, the flock suffers greatly.
xxx/ellauri420.html on line 305: Quality self-care begins, according to our Lord’s direction and example, with prayer for protection: “Lead us not into temptation.” That failing, we pray for our Father’s intervention: “But deliver us MREs from (the) evil (one).”
xxx/ellauri420.html on line 311: That’s why you can’t fight this battle, not really. You can only defend yourself and call in the champion to fight for you. Christ Jesus, who by his blood and cross has fixed the fight ahead of time, intercedes for you to stop the Father’s punishing right hand.
xxx/ellauri420.html on line 326: So you can be confident, dear brother, that there’s nothing in all creation that can ever separate you from your Father’s love for you. Stand your ground, then, in the evil day. Some days are sure to be worse than others spiritually speaking. That goes with the territory in ministry. Temptations are sure to come; if not for you, then certainly for those you love.
