Rand Paul on the 2nd Amendment

Here in the Alexander home, politics are very important :-), because politics are yet another reflection of our Christian principles and convictions.

"You act like a biblical man today, and I hate to tell you this. But you act like a biblical man today, don't expect people to appreciate it. Some people will hate you. They'll just hate you. Even though you don't say anything to them to rebuke them.
Again guys, just to start off, being a Christian is more than just simply listening to Christian music, or reading your Bible. And it's more than just getting a few doctrines right, and it's more than witnessing. It's literally, every aspect of your life being submitted to Scripture, so that you do stick out like a sore thumb."

-Paul Washer-

Furnace of Joy

"When the cold air comes on in, it kicks the furnace on, and the furnace overwhelms the cold. As the sorrow comes into the heart of a Christian, it kicks on more of the joy. It gets you closer to him, it helps you dig down deeper into him, and the joy kicks up, you might say, like a furnace, and overwhelms the sorrow. That is a picture of a solid Christian. Not a sorrow-less person who is happy, happy, happy, all the time. That’s not the picture. A picture of a real Christian is a person who has a furnace of joy in there that kicks up as the sorrow comes in and overwhelms the sorrow. But the sorrow is there. It is there." 

-Tim Keller (1990)
