Paul loved the gospel and encouraged others to love it too. Still today, how blessed are they who give and participate generously in the fellowship of spreading the gospel. How important for each one of us to live lives worthy of the gospel, going forward in unity to uphold it until He comes. —Jim Paul

Men die in darkness at your side, without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch; wave it wide, the torch that lights time’s thickest gloom. —Horatius Bonar
