— Карамазов!— крикнул Коля,— неужели и взаправду религия говорит, что мы все встанем из мертвых, и оживем, и увидим опять друг друга, и всех, и Илюшечку?
— Непременно восстанем, непременно увидим и весело, радостно расскажем друг другу всё, что было,— полусмеясь, полу в восторге ответил Алеша.
— Ах, как это будет хорошо!— вырвалось у Коли.

"I do not find two standards of Christian experience at all. I do not believe God ever intended there should be a lower life and a higher life, and I am afraid that those people who rest in the lower life will find themselves awfully mistaken at the last. I believe that religion is all or nothing. God is either first or he is nowhere with us, individually. The very essence and core of religion is ‘God first’, and allegiance and obedience to him first." -- Catherine Booth
"'This is the will of God, even your sanctification,' wrote Paul to the Thessalonians. There is a sense, and an important sense, in which sanctification must be the will of man. If it is not my will the divine will can never be accomplished in me. I must will to be sanctified, as God is willing that I should be sanctified. James, in his epistle, says, 'Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.' This was said to people who had been professing to believe, but had gone back under the dominion of their fleshly appetites. There are two or three other texts which seem to sum up the whole matter as, for instance, 'Jesus Christ . . . gave Himself for us (that is, for us Christians, the whole Church of God) that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.' Then 1 Timothy 1:5 shows God's purpose and aim in the whole method of redemption: 'Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned'--cleansed and kept clean, for if it had been clean and had become dirty again it would be not a good, but a bad conscience. And again, in 1 John 3:3, 'Every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.' These are summing-up texts and there are numbers of others to show that the whole purpose of redemption is to restore us to purity; not only to purge us from the past, but to keep us purged to serve the living God. This shall be by the application of the Blood of Christ to the conscience, and by the power of the Holy Ghost keeping us in a state of purity and obedience to righteousness. If God through Christ cannot do this for me, what is my advantage at all by his coming?" -- Catherine Booth

Now I belong to Jesus
SASB #349
Jesus my Lord will love me for ever,
From him no power of evil can sever,
He gave his life to ransom my soul,
Now I belong to him.
Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me,
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.
Once I was lost in sin's degradation;
Jesus came down to bring me salvation,
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame,
Now I belong to him.
Joy floods my soul for Jesus has saved me,
Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me,
His precious blood he gave to redeem,
Now I belong to him.

"God’s grace is sufficient and He will be there to direct her and give her the strength.”
Salvation Army Major Jimmy Bovender spoke during the service and talked to reporters in a brief press conference at the church. Bovender is Cindy Wise’s father.“My daughter feels it best to stay here at this time to continue the ministry,” Bovender said. “As a father, I question that, but yet I know God’s grace is sufficient and He will be there to direct her and give her the strength.”
This quote brought to my mind this article:
http://kopli8.blogspot.com/2008/09/harmful-wealth-by-captain-danielle.html
I think it is safe to assume that Cindy Bovender (who grew up to be Major Cindy Wise, widow of martyr Major Philip Wise) was dedicated to God as an infant. But it is perhaps only now that her parents come to realize what that truly means -- to give our children to God. I ask the Lord to help us all to carry out the vows we have made. Direct us, and give us the strength.
I'm also reminded of these words from our Founder, William Booth:
"Does the surging sea look dark and dangerous? Unquestionably it is so. There is no doubt that the leap for you, as for everyone who takes it, means difficulty and scorn and suffering. For you it may mean more than this. It may mean death. He who beckons you from the sea however, knows what it will mean – and knowing, He still calls to you and bids to you to come."
