WORDS OF WONDER

* A Christian who no longer has to struggle against the world, the flesh,
   and the devil is a Christian who has fallen either into sin or into
    complacency.

* The final result of Jesus' coming will be peace, but before He brings
   peace, He brings a sword against evil and he brings division between
   those who join Him and those who reject Him.

* You'll never rely on the Lord unless you are aware that the only way
   you are going to get through today, and this week, and this year is by
   His mighty power.
