“We need strong Christians who can persevere against hardship, who can sustain hope through tragedy, who can lift others by their example and their compassion, and who can consistently overcome temptations. We need strong Christians who can make important things happen by their faith and who can defend the truth of Jesus Christ against moral relativism and militant atheism. What is the source of such moral and spiritual power, and how do we obtain it? The source is God. Our access to that power is through our covenants with Him.” NeedsImportantHappensChristianSpiritualJesusStrongChristCompassionMoralAtheismExampleSourceJesus ChristOvercomingTragedyImportant ThingsAccessThings HappenTemptationLiftsHardshipConsistentlyPersevereCovenantMilitantRelativismSpiritual PowerMoral Relativism Author:D.

“With faith in the merciful Redeemer and His power, potential despair turns to hope. One's very heart and desires change, and the once-appealing sin becomes increasingly abhorrent. A resolve to abandon and forsake the sin and to repair, as fully as one possibly can, the damage he or she has caused now forms in that new heart. This resolve soon matures into a covenant of obedience to God. With that covenant in place, the Holy Ghost, the messenger of divine grace, will bring relief and forgiveness.” HeartFormDesireTurnsSinGraceDivineHolyDespairGhostObedienceDamageReliefAbandonResolveCovenantMercifulHoly GhostMessengersForsakeRedeemerDivine GraceObedience To GodAbhorrent Author:D.
