That sage advice, "Keep to the task!" is applicable as we move into 2002.
The God Whom we know through Jesus Christ has not abdicated His
cosmic throne. So may we sing believingly that reassuring Christmas carol:
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.
-VCG, 2001
"For this ver y reason, make ever y effort to add
to your faith goodness; and to goodness,
knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance; and to
perseverance, godliness; and to godliness,
mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love."
- 2 Peter 1:5-7
