God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

Our valleys may be filled with foes and tears; but we can lift our eyes to the hills to see God and the angels, heaven's spectators, who support us according to God's infinite wisdom as they prepare our welcome home.

God's angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.

The cross is offensive because it directly confronts the evils which dominate so much of this world.

Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater-the love of God.

God did not create the strife between races, nor did He intend for it to be that way. Strife between races and ethnic groups comes from sin-and sin resides in the human heart. The Bible says, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1). When one group or one race claims it is superior to another, pride has taken control-and pride is a sin.Instead, God wants us to learn to accept each other and love each other-and this becomes possible, as we turn our lives over to Christ and allow Him to change us from within.

Don't be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and his will first in everything you do.
