"We who are believers march to the beat of a different drummer than the world does. We hear thythms of grace that, apart from God's intervention, others will be deaf to all of their lives. In the same way that there are levels of sound frequency which can be heard by animals, but not by the human ear, so are there sights and sounds which can be recognized only by those in Jesus Christ."
