The deity of Christ is the key doctrine of the scriptures. Reject it, and the Bible becomes a jumble of words without any unifying theme. Accept it, and the Bible becomes an intelligible and ordered revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. (J. Oswald Sanders)

Pray with tears for everyone - for the sick, the weak, for the sinners. Pray for those who have no one to pray for them. View quote
