When my eyes first beheld Him, when the burden slipped from off my heavy-laden shoulders, and I was free from condemnation, I thought that all the preachers I had ever heard had not half preached, they had not told half the beauty of my LORD and master. So good! So generous! So gracious! So willing to forgive!

This star will shine in the east!'" - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "The Brother's Karamazov" For reasons that escape me, it has become vogue to describe the church in America as "cold," "ineffective," and "lukewarm." If one relegates himself to a narrow slice of history, no doubt this would be the case. However, what every Christian ought to be
