Will the Real Christians Stand Up

         ones they observed before.

              At that moment, the girls began to minister, and asked,
         “How do you feel?
              “I feel as if a heavy weight lifted off of me.”
              “That’s the weight and burden of sin,” Katey said. “Listen,

         there will be times when you will not feel like you’ve been born
         again, but never mind the feelings.
              You must be made to realize that this walk is not based on
         feeling, but rather based on that faith we talked about earlier.
         You are a born again believer now and all of heaven is re-
         joicing and celebrating you because of the wonderful choice

         We have a hotline number for newborns on the back of our
