God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

When you read the Bible, it's as though it reads you.

Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

God does uncommon things through common people in common places.

On the eve of the cross, Jesus made his decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you.

I don't get the impression that most sources of media - like television and movies - are trying to get out a positive message, necessarily. My impression is they're trying to get a message out that promotes their personal opinion, position or belief and they're trying to do something that makes money. They want to turn a buck.

The influence of the Church does not depend on the Church, it depends on the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit will never lose its influence. He is God and He is influencing society.
