"Would y'all slumber alongside a human for $1,000,000?" Mark Twain* asked an attractive woman.
"Yes, I in all probability would."
"How close $5?"
"What create y'all recollect I am, Mr. Twain!"
"We've already established what y'all are, instantly nosotros are simply determining your price."
Beliefs are non negotiable--they're non for sale at whatsoever price.

Let's brand certain nosotros create to a greater extent than than prefer Christ. Let's believe Him (John 14:21).
