Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach. For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.
Select a thought to read by choosing a collection, the month, and then the day:
The greatest trouble you will ever cause yourself will come from loving someone more than that person loves God or from trusting someone more than that person trusts God. If you keep God first in all things, and if you will judge people according to their faith and fellowship with Jesus, you will be saved from a hundred heartaches and long years of regret and loss.

Good advice for us all.
