“Imagine all the members of your church living together in perfect love, sympathy, righteousness, and understanding. What's more, imagine an even more diverse version of your church -- with representatives of every tribe, tongue, and nation -- living together in such a way that each considers the other’s interests more significant than his own. No lying. No posturing. No one-upmanship. But shared rejoicing. Shared laboring. Shared zeal.”

“So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!”
