There are only two types of people: those to whom the preaching of the cross is foolish stupidity, who are therefore in the act of perishing, and those to whom the preaching of the cross is the power of God, who are therefore in the act of being saved. Although it is a tough journey with plenty of things to discourage us from beginning and living the life of faith, it is faith alone in the resurrected Christ that prepares us for eternity.
