But since the adversary does not cease to resist many, and uses many and diverse arts to ensnare them, that he may seduce the faithful from their faith, and that he may prevent the faithless from believing, it seems to me necessary that we also, being armed with the invulnerable doctrines of the faith, do battle against him in behalf of the weak.
The Christian disciple today has access to a world wide web of materials. There is plenty out there for a curious new Christian to discover.

She drove down from North Carolina to see me, and reminded me of scriptural lessons that tragedies and disappointments should be a source of increased patience, strength, wisdom, and a commitment to our Christian life. I rejected her premises at first, but Ruth finally convinced me to relegate my political and business ambitions to a secondary position of importance for a while and to assume some challenging religious commitments.
God has humorous moments with you, yet they are never at your displeasure. (08/25/2019)
Faith in God is the finest of all things.
Itβs when you humble yourself as a servant that people want to follow you as a leader.
Praying is the purest pleasure.
The righteousness of God's grace leads to repentance.
