For social liberals, it sometimes seems that they think a family is just any group of people who share a refrigerator. Unk via Bruce Thompson

If we have a faith worth living for we have a faith worth dying for. Don't you compromise the faith that we are living and dying for - Archbishop Ben Kwashi

If you do not resist (Islam) now your grandchildren are going to have to fight a battle you do not have courage to fight.- Archbishop Ben Kwashi

Let us learn the high authority of the Bible, and the immense value of a knowledge of its contents. Let us read it, search into it, pray over it, diligently, perseveringly, unweariedly. Let us strive to be so thoroughly acquainted with its pages, that its text may abide in our memories, and stand ready at our right hand in the day of need. Let us be able to appeal from every perversion and false interpretation of its meaning, to those thousand plain passages, which are written as it were with a sunbeam. The Bible is indeed a sword, but we must take heed that we know it well, if we would use it with effect.~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke volume 1, [Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1986], 111, 112.

Salvation is complete; it involves justification, sanctification, and glorification. By grace, through faith, God justifies believers in an instantaneous act. That is to say, Christ died for His people in order that the penalty for their sins might be paid and His righteousness might be counted to them. They are declared just before God when they believe. Once justified, Christ saves them from the power of their sins through the lifelong process of sanctification. In sanctification, Christians are made more and more like Jesus Christ. But a lifelong process never ends, and the final goal is never reached until death. At death, Christians are glorified; they are then made completely perfect for the first time. - Jay E. Adams, Christian Living in the Home, P&R Publishing, 1972, p. 10-11
