We must be willing to say what the Bible says.
It is in the context...of the body in Christ that we understand who we are and where we fit.
I never met a hopeful Christian who didn't read their Bible.
Let us remember the loving-kindness of the Lord and rehearse His deeds of grace. Let us open the volume of recollection, which is so richly illuminated with memories of His mercy, and we will soon be happy.
Christ, because of who He is, can look death in the face.
When we turn luxuries into necessities, we jeopardize our ability for contentedness.
