Most of the heroes of Scripture rose to their greatest victories after their worst mistakes. God is in the redemption business, and He testifies of this through the lives of everyone He calls.

The Holy Spirit is not “the Doer,” but rather the “Helper.” He will not do it without us, but if we engage He will help us with what we need to make it happen

I have often heard, "I love God but just don't like His people." This may sound glib, but as John explained, this is a basic deception as we do not really love God unless we also love His people. The Scriptures also go to great lengths to explain that love is not to be based on whether people are lovable or not.

The Great Commission to go into all the world is not only geographical, but must include every field, profession, discipline, sport, etc.
