Four elements, Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen, also provide an example of the astonishing togetherness of our universe. They make up the "organic" molecules that constitute living organisms on a planet, and the nuclei of these same elements interact to generate the light of its star.

Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person.

Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

This mysterious quality of love is all around us, as real as gravity... Yet how often we forget about love.
