Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
John StottEvery Christian should be both conservative and radical; conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.

John StottFaith, Hope & Love. Faith is directed towards God, love towards others (both within the Christian fellowship and beyond it) and hope towards the future, in particular, the glorious coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Similarly, faith rests of the past; love works in the present; hope looks to the future. Every Christian without exception is a believer, a lover and a hoper. Faith, hope and love are three sure evidences of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
