“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.
