The true Christian is one whose religion is in his heart and life. It is felt by himself in his heart. It is seen by others in his conduct and life. He feels his sinfulness, guilt and badness, and repents. He sees Jesus Christ to be that Divine Savior whom his soul needs, and commits himself to Him. He puts off the old man with his corrupt and carnal habits and puts on the new man. He lives a new and holy life, fighting habitually against the world, the flesh and the devil. Christ Himself is the cornerstone of his Christianity. Ask him in what he trusts for the forgiveness of his many sins, and he will tell you in the death of Christ. Ask him in what righteousness he hopes to stand innocent at the judgment day, and he will tell you it is the righteousness of Christ. Ask him by what pattern he tries to frame his life, and he will tell you that it is the example of Christ. But, beside all this, there is one thing in a true Christian which is eminently peculiar to him. That thing is love to Christ.

Dear Hope Chest friends,
 
Sean and Stephanie Garvey and their ten children were in a terrible van accident early this morning near Jacksonville, Florida.  Baby Jesse, who was less than a month old, was killed.  Several of the other children were injured after their seat belts failed and they were thrown from the van.  The Garvey family lives near Annapolis, Maryland, and is active in the home school community in Columbia, Maryland.   I just talked to Stephanie on Thursday night, and they were so excited about their vacation to visit grandparents in Daytona Beach.   They had intended to visit us next week since their oldest daughter had become acquainted with some of our girls on the Home School Swap web board. Here is the Swap post about the accident: http://www.theswap.com/BBS/ForumPray/18440.html
 
Please pray for this dear family.  I can only imagine their grief.
 
Blessings,
Virginia Knowles
