Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
problematic within post-Reformation dogmatics. Is faith something I `do' to earn God's favour, and, if not, what role does it play? Once we release Paul's justification-language from the burden of having to describe `how someone becomes a Christian', however, this is simply no longer a problem. There is no danger of imagining that Christian faith is after all a surrogate `work', let alone a substitute form of moral righteousness. Faith is the badge of covenant membership, not something someone `performs' as a kind of initiation test.

However often you may have done them a favour, if you once refuse they forget everything except your refusal.
I am not in favour of this modern mania for turning bad people into good people at a moment's notice.
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
When one has been threatened with a great injustice, one accepts a smaller as a favour.
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Humbly to ask a favour of people who are on the point of knocking your brains out sometimes produces good results.
I am in favour of capital punishment if the execution of the sentence is immediate. The purpose of the death penalty is to send out a message to society.
God's decisions are always mysterious, but they are always in our favour.
Alas, how wretched is the being who depends on the stability of public favour!
Indeed, truth draws strength from itself and not from the number of votes in its favour.
Nothing more predisposes someone in our favour than to let him rob you a little.
