The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.

Fear is vision without hope.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Stop looking for the path of least resistance and start running down the path of greatest glory to God and good to others, because that's what Jesus, the Real Man, did.
Mark Driscoll

Gentleman, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
