I Believe That The Real Difference In The American Church Is Not Between Conservatives And Liberals, Fundamentalists And Charismatics, Nor Between Republicans And Democrats. The Real Difference Is Between The Aware And The Unaware.

We Are Enveloped In Peace, Whether Or Not We Feel Ourselves To Be At Peace. By That I Mean The Peace That Passes Understanding Is Not A Subjective Sensation Of Peace; If We Are In Christ, We Are In Peace Even When We Feel No Peace.

The God Who Exacts The Last Drop Of Blood From His Son So That His Just Anger, Evoked By Sin, May Be Appeased, Is Not The God Revealed By And In Jesus Christ. And If He Is Not The God Of Jesus, He Does Not Exist.

* Recognize That God Is With You. * Acknowledge God Knows What He's Doing. * Search For God's Will: The Path He Desires You To Take In Life. * Consider What God Did For You When He Sent Jesus To Die On The Cross (forgiveness And Righteousness)

How I Treat A Brother Or Sister From Day To Day, How I React To The Sin-scarred Wino On The Street, How I Respond To Interruptions From People I Dislike, How I Deal With Normal People In Their Normal Confusion On A Normal Day May Be A Better Indication Of My Reverence For Life Than The Antiabortion Sticker On The Bumper Of My Car.
