The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.

Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.

All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.

There is hope in forgiveness

Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions

Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement!

What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
