Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.

Maintaining joy in God takes 'work'; that is, it's a fight against every impulse for alien joys and every obstacle in the way to seeing and savoring Christ.

Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?

Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
