Where the Real News is the Good News

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

You are my refuge and my shield;

    I have put my hope in your word.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lionlooking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
