We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, that is, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something

“The Bible is so strict and old-fashioned,” said a young man to a gray-haired friend, who was advising him to study God’s Word if he would learn how to live. “There are plenty of books written nowadays that are moral enough in their teachings, and do not bind one down to the Bible.”

**Christ is **
Alive
He is our God
We should worship him
He should be our icon
He should be the one we weep for not man
We should buy his book
Listen to his music
Come from far and wide to worship him
We need to praise God not man
The way of life not death
With us in spirit and truth
Christ love

But only now to learn

I heard a story about a woman who spent all day in a hot kitchen preparing a five course meal for some out of town guests. It was summer, it was 100 degrees outside; it was probably 120 in that kitchen. She worked hard, and everything turned out great.
When everybody sat down to eat, this woman
