Because the indwelling Christ resides in us, God is literally
establishing His rule in the world through us. As we say yes to
God and live our lives in agreement with Him, He lives, rules,
and reigns through us everywhere we go and in everything we do.

    -- David Edwards

In some ways, it's those of us who are most familiar with the
Spirit's promises who are in the greatest danger. Someone has
said that familiarity may not breed contempt, but it takes the
edge off of awe. Something like this is true about the rich
texts and glory-filled promises that drop  the jaws or widen the
eyes of newcomers but provoke no more than a raised eyebrow in
the old-timers who have ceased to dream.

     -- Jim McGuiggan

Think of these things: whence you came, where you are going, and
to whom you must account.

    -- Benjamin Franklin
