““Christians have nothing to rely on but Christ, their Lord and God. They willingly surrender all things for His sake and say: 'Before I deny or forsake my Christ, I will bid farewell to neck and belly, honor and goods, house and home, wife and child, and everything!' Therefore this courage cannot be a sham or a delusion; it must be genuine and real. Its comfort is not rooted in earth's temporal or transient things, for the sake of which it would be willing to suffer this. No, it pins its hopes solely on the Lord Christ, who was crucified and died for us.””
![“[O]ur primary job as Christians is to love people, and we can't love from behind a barricade. But we have other God-given responsibilities too—to fight against those who make unjust decrees, rob the needy, and deprive the poor of their rights. We can make political the things that are political…” quote by Alisa Harris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/733/alisa-harris-43994_christianity_o-ur-primary-job-as-christians-is-to-lov_16440.jpg)
