God does not call us to live "timid, grave-tending" lives. Jesus came, lived, died, and rose again so that we might have the Full Life!
A Full Life is a life lived with adventurous expectation of what God HAS done in the past, IS doing right now, and WILL do in the future. A Full Life is a life of faith...A life of confident assurance in who God is and that He is up to great things.
