Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality.

Billy GrahamIs it not arrogance or narrow-mindedness to claim that there is only one way of salvation or that the way we follow is the right way? I think not.

Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
