I Messed Up – Deepak Reju: “If you are dating someone right now, are you scared to tell him or her about your sinful past?

The Great Election Tragedy – “The tragedy of the 2012 election is that in this land of the free and home of the brave, many people were not allowed to vote. Their voices were silenced. Their votes were not cast. Their opinions not expressed.”

To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement!

—George Truett
