But as I say, if you look to the state of their souls you’ll find the situation nowhere near as grave as polls suggest. There’s more to being a servant of The Adversary than signing up.

I am going to be blunt now, but I feel it is warranted: Christians who aren't willing to confess their faults to each other are either full of pride, or they have no clue of the power of prayer!
