Quotes About Battle
A healthy church is not a church that's perfect and without sin. It has not figured everything out. Rather, it's a church that continually strives to take God's side in the battle against the ungodly desires and deceits of the world, our flesh, and the devil. It's a church that continually seeks to conform itself to God's Word.

Anybody can play whist with four by honours in his own hands.

Let each one wag As youthfully as he can, And if he has the cause at heart Rise at least a span.
