God is telling an amazing, glorious, epic story. We have to decide if we will trust Him with it.

I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.

There is no greater love than this. There is no greater gift that can ever be given. To be willing to die, so another might live -- there is no greater lover than this.
