As a child, I used to have a definite plan for the future. Once I left school, I was going to pursue my chosen vocation, travel to certain countries and do this or that. Needless to say, my naive ambitions fell away long before I even reached adulthood. |
The reality is that if she is not introduced to Jesus Christ and if she does not accept Him as her personal Saviour, she will have to endure an eternity of indescribable suffering, separated from God forever. We cannot imagine how terrible that will be. |
I couldn't help overhearing the man next to me at the other teller in the bank. "Can I have this 200 in twenty's please? My son keeps sending me on these errands and I have to make sure I get it right." I waited for the chuckle to indicate that he was joking, but there was none. |

Anytime the enemy can draw your focus away from the needs of other people and point it inwardly onto your own situation, he has won a battle over you. |
The day you came to salvation, you were set apart for God. How can someone who has been born again return to the life and the ways he followed before? Christians are always growing and always moving forward. |
