Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
Christian giving is to be marked by self-sacrifice and self-forgetfuln ess, not by self-congratula tion.
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
