“All of us are not subjected to the same weaknesses and temptations.
To one, alcohol may be the temptation;
to another, it may be impure thoughts and acts; to another, greed and covetousness; to another, criticism and an unloving attitude.”

“Every generation has found [the Bible’s] message indispensable, and its influence on individuals and society over the centuries has been enormous.”
