“The Christian should stand out like a sparkling diamond against a rough background. He should be more wholesome than anyone else. He should be poised, cultured, courteous, gracious, but firm in the things that he does and does not do. He should laugh and be radiant, but he should refuse to allow the world to pull him down to its level.”

“I have never been to the North Pole, and yet I believe there is a North Pole. How do I know? I know because somebody told me.

The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” [Romans 10:17 KJV].”
