Christians should be among those who speak loudest in defense of civil liberties and the protection of the weak.

Recalling what our lives were like before Jesus Christ entered them will help keep our daily problems in perspective.

Intercessors constitute the greatest unseen group of spiritual heroes in world history. Their labors are not seen, but the results are. Those who pray for the spiritual needs of others do immeasurable good in the world, often preventing (at least for a time) divine judgment.

By definition, if man contributes anything toward acceptance by God, he loses everything. God expects man to be the recipient, not the originator. Jesus paid it all, not 99% of it.
