These are some quotes and verses from the Bible from this book "Jesus Freaks" that Bennett let me borrow:
You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
^^C.S. Lewis
Real followers of God know Jesus. Though they may not have seen Him with their own eyes, they have felt His power, love, and joy in their lives. He is the Living Word and is so real to them that they would never deny Him, no matter the cost.
^^Don't know
We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtues, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling short-changed. Quite the contrary --- we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holt Spirit!
^^Paul the Apostle
(Romans 5:3-5)
