The Bible teaches a willing generosity of one’s own resources and money. Marxist Socialism teaches an unwilling taking of other people’s resources and money.-Joshua D Jones
“While struggling with a lot of things personally — temptations, sins and lifestyle choices — I realized I wasn’t living according to what I was calling myself: a follower of Christ. I was getting by, but I hadn’t decided to fully commit myself to Jesus Christ and start living according to his way. Walking alongside a spiritual mentor, I’ve been able to discover the truth and saving power of Christ in a whole new way. This new life has given me a peace in my heart I’d never experienced before. I don’t have to understand everything in life, and there are so many things I don’t, but I know God is in control of it all. My job is to do the best I can and leave the rest in his hands.” Siya Kolisi, Springboks Captain
Do not be in a hurry to change your trials, dear
friends. We have heard of some who have repined
that they had no children, and, like Rachel, their
cry was, "Give me children, or else I die."
Ere long they have had children who proved to be far
worse than none. Better no son than an Absalom.
--Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
