Psalm 119:71

Before us our culture has two attractive idols that share worship with God by many Christians. These idols are comfort and safety. As we seek comfort and safety we are not able to embrace affliction and learn from God as we should.

Romans 8:11

There is much evidence that God raised Jesus from the dead and we who have the Spirit living within us will likewise be raised. That is a uniqueness of Christianity. Jesus is the only person to ever live a perfect life and then die for our sin. Have you received the gift of life from Jesus?
