A working definition of Grace
Grace is the work of the Spirit in the life of an unbeliever, accessed through faith in Jesus Christ, which continues in the life of the believer, to take one beyond a place of mercy to a place of undeserved blessing, intimacy, and power in the Holy Spirit. Apart from the cross, grace is the active spiritual component which delivers a person from the kingdom of darkness into the light of the...

What is thy only comfort in life and death?
That I with body and soul, both in life and death, (Rom.14:7,8)
am not my own, (1 Cor.6:19)
but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; (1 Cor.3:23; Tit.2:14)
who, with His precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, (1 Pet.1:18,19; 1 John 1:7; 1 John 2:2,12)
and delivered me from all the power of the devil; (Heb.2:14; 1 John 3:8; John 8:34-36)

Evander Holyfield on boxing at 48
Fanhouse: Is there any reason for you to be concerned about the health risks in the sport as a result of your age?
Holyfield: I've passed all of the health tests and I've never had a problem with that, so, I fight. Young people get hurt too. Anybody can get hurt. Not just the older people.
You've got more young people getting head injuries because you've got more young people doing it. When I reach my goal, and I choose to stop, then I'll stop.
But the fact of the matter is that I'm a Christian, and I believe in Jesus. That is my protection. He's been my protection, and, so, you know what?
Because I believe in the word of God, this is the reason that I'm able to do what I'm able to do. And there ain't been nobody that's been able to do it better.
I don't assume that they're making that movie about me, because I don't get into the ring without a covering. It's not about, 'Are you covered?', or, 'Who is going to insure you?'
They say that they need Allstate. People have different kinds of insurance policies. I got the Lord Jesus Christ, and I've never been ashamed to tell other people.
I've told people about that before they even said that I was old. I came into the game with Jesus and when I leave the game I'll leave it with Jesus.
Anyway that it's gone down, he's always been my protection. That's always been my confindence and that's always been my mainstay.
That's always been why I've been able to handle whatever pressure has been there and why I've been able to be secure in myself.
