Introduction to ONE33

 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the LORD your God.” So they all praised the LORD, the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate before the LORD

 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

 Wisdom has built her house, and she invites us to a feast of fruitfulness, rather than a battle for balance.

 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

 Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

 The historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is so strong that even secular sceptics, if they try to do honest history, have no way of explaining the missing body on Sunday morning besides an actual resurrection.
