If anyone serveth me, the Father will honour him.(John 12:26)

"If we define
ourselves by what we are
against rather than what we are for, then, when what we are against
disappears, we either cease to exist ourselves or must continually look
for something else to oppose to remain relevant. Define yourself by
what you are for, not by what you are against."
