If we live in hope, we go against the stream. Read more at location 1609 Darris McNeely] Good afternoon everyone. Thank you very much, class, for that beautiful music. I, too, would like to extend my thanks to all of you parents that sent your children here for us to teach this year at ABC. It's always a pleasure to be able to build on the foundation of the work that is done in the home when students come for the Bible classes here. It's a great honor and we've enjoyed having them here.

Peterson call us to be "persons who are conscious of participating in what God is saying and doing, who are most human, most alive". It is very refreshing to start a book where the author sets up such a positive goal. Before we go onto thinking we are at the beginning of an Oprah-like "you are great" book, Peterson gives us the clear path of a disciple of Christ saying his goal is " to encourage people to grow in excellence and to live selflessly, at one in the same time to lose the self and find the self." Biblical faith has always insisted that there are no special aptitudes for a life with God—no required level of intelligence or degree of morality, no particular spiritual experience. The statement ‘I’m not the religious type’ is inadmissible. There are no religious types. There are only human beings, everyone created for a relationship with God is personal and eternal” (137).

We see everything that evil is doing and think it is in control of everyone.location 505 and personal, not mechanical and institutional. Faith invades the muddle; it does not eliminate it. Peace develops in the midst of chaos. Harmony is achieved slowly, quietly, unobtrusively-like the effects of salt and light.
