“I read from the Gospels, about the disciples.  They reminded me of us.  They had Jesus right there, like we have His words, and they still said and did stupid things.  But Jesus loved them.  After he was raised from the dead, one morning he made them breakfast, because they’d been out all night fishing.  That story amazed me.  You’d think dying on a Roman cross was enough,”

“What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?” (v. 15). The word harmony here is a musical term. We aren’t even playing in the same orchestra with the unsaved! We aren’t following the same conductor or reading the same score. Therefore, how can we ever make music together?”
