I will keep the ground that God has given me and perhaps in his grace, he will ignite me again. But ignite me or not, in his grace, in his power, I will hold the ground.
John Knox
In the presence of a great common foe, I have little time to be attacking my brethren who stand with me in defense of the Word of God.

Praying.
Counseling.
