"Once Christ’s work was accomplished He entered His rest, and we must remember that Christ is God. Just as previous divine rests came after divine works, so with our Lord’s rest. There is a new covenant Sabbath rest, the foundation of which is the great redemptive work of Christ.

Dusty is the real deal. Don't trust folks just because they say they are "pro-life." Ask if they believe it ought to be a crime for everybody to murder anybody. Ask them if they believe in equal protection under the law for unborn children. If they don't, don't be duped by them.
