Quote of the day

We laugh, we cry, we work, we play, we love, we live. And then we die. . . . And dead we would remain but for one Man and His mission, even Jesus of Nazareth. . . . With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again.
