With Jesus We Have 100 Percent Security,

When We Gather For Worship, Whether With A Handful In A Storefront Chapel Or With Thousands In St. Peter's Square, We Perform A Drama With Different Parts-speaking And Singing And Praying And Giving Money And Baptizing And Eating Bread And Drinking Wine-all For The Delight Of God.

Truth Offends Everyone Outside Its Definitions. But The Irony Of Truth Is That The Greater Its Potential For Offense, The Greater Its Potential For Giving Hope.
