“I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of the dead I cried, and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me.”

“All men will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another.’” I paused. “Christians are supposed to love one another as evidence that God is real. Don’t see a lot of that going around.”
