“There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.”
“The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.”

That is not a blind leap. The faith that the New Testament calls us to is a faith rooted and grounded in something that God makes clear is the truth.”
“Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.”
