Jesus did not bathe this planet with his blood to have you serve the world, the flesh, and the devil. He died to make you holy. You are not your own. First Corinthians 6:20 says 'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.'
A mans religion will rise no higher than his concept of God.
Everybody needs a hero. Jesus is mine.
The devils more orthodox than some theologians I know.
Faith believes in spite of the circumstances and acts in spite of the consequences.
You can't just tip your hat to Jesus; you must bow your knee.
