faith religious healing
Take away material prosperity; take away emotional highs; take away miracles and healing; take away fellowship with other believers; take away church; take away all opportunity for service; take away assurance of salvation; take away the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit... Yes! Take it all, all, far, far away. And what is left? Tragically, for many believers there would be nothing left. For does our faith really go that deep? Or do we, in the final analysis, have a cross-less Christianity?
faith religious sacrifice
True worship has less to do with offering sacrifices than with being a sacrifice ourselves.
love spiritual religious
So the best marriages and the deepest relationships with God grow out of the startling discovery that there is nothing one can do to earn love, and even more startling, that there is also nothing one can do to unlearn it, or to keep oneself from being loved. This is a religious awakening that is utterly different from any other religious experience, no matter how profoundly spiritual it may seem.
faith religious pain
The very fact that faith looks to a power beyond itself means that it is continually subject to loss of control. So if you're looking to get control of all your problems, forget Christianity. If you're looking for success, happiness, or freedom from pain, forget Christ. The way of Christ is the cross, and the cross spells weakness, poverty, failure, death.
couple given last played points
I still don't think that we've played up to our potential. The last couple games, we've given up way too many points defensively.
adjust ball both brown great hands players run system took vertical
Both of them have been in the system for awhile, they run crisp routs and know how to adjust to the defense. Both have great hands and have height. Brown is only 5-11 or 6-foot, but he has a great vertical leap. He jumped over two players at a scrimmage and just took the ball from them. And, they know what to do with the ball when they get it.
behind inside
I was behind my guy, and he had inside coverage. So I didn't see the ball.
ball came changed field half score second third
We came out in the second half and didn't score on that field goal. That changed the momentum. Then they were able to keep the ball the whole third quarter.
assumed longer people performed position remain took
There are people out there who, when they took their desks, assumed they could remain in their position as long as they performed well in that position. That is no longer the case.
opens talented welcome
We welcome that. Then it opens things up for our other talented receivers.
gamble took trying
I took a gamble on the fake, but we were trying to get something going.
athletes behind best core excellent four good groups others receiving starters three
We've got four excellent receivers and two or three others behind them that are probably as good as many starters on some other teams. I've never had a receiving core this good. This is an outstanding core, one of the best groups of athletes I've ever had.
gathering group mosques muslim particular places program targeting
There is no nuclear- or radiation-monitoring program targeting mosques or other places of gathering by Muslim or any other particular group of citizens.
few people stop
Wheeler is 5-11, 230 and just a monster. There will be very few people that can stop him.
