William Still

    Het leven van William Still was een bewijs van veerkracht en een krachtige kracht tegen onrecht. Geboren in slavernij, verzekerde hij niet alleen zijn eigen vrijheid, maar wijdde hij zich ook aan het helpen van talloze anderen op hun gevaarlijke reis naar vrijheid. Zijn zelfgeleerde geletterdheid bracht hem tot invloedrijke posities binnen abolitionistische genootschappen, waar hij de zaak van vluchtende slaven met uniek inzicht bepleitte. Vanuit zijn eigen huis exploiteerde hij een vitale post op de Underground Railroad en documenteerde hij nauwgezet zijn inspanningen, wat een historisch verslag van zijn diepgaande impact opleverde.

      The Christian s greatest target is to glorify God and to enjoy glorifying Him. The path to this target of enjoying God is described as striving towards spiritual maturity. William Still describes that path through the three results of the death of Jesus - the removal of sins from the believer, the mastery of sin and the defeat of satan, the motive power behind that sin. Living in the shadow of the Cross is living in victory, a victory which means peace with God and hope for eternity.
