Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
There are only two kinds of religion in the world... You can list every "ism," every cult, every religion in the world under one category. They all say, "Do, do, do." Only Christianity says, "Done." Christ has done it all. —J. Vernon McGee, from The Best of Vernon McGee.
