“Ultimately, every human being must face this question: What do you think of Christ? Whose Son is He? We must answer this question with belief and action. We must not only believe something about Jesus, but we must do something about Him. We must accept Him or reject Him.”

I have never forgotten what a wise Christian said to me many years ago: “When in doubt—don’t!”
