This quote by Frederick Robertson reminds us how we need to respond. "Christian life is action: not speculating, not debating, but doing... Feelings pass, resolve and thoughts pass, opinions change, but what you have done lasts. Through the ages, through eternity, what you have done for Christ-that, is what is impo...
