William Still

    William Stills Leben war ein Beweis für Widerstandsfähigkeit und eine starke Kraft gegen Ungerechtigkeit. In die Sklaverei hineingeboren, sicherte er nicht nur seine eigene Freiheit, sondern widmete sich auch der Unterstützung unzähliger anderer auf ihrer gefährlichen Reise zur Freiheit. Seine autodidaktische Lese- und Schreibfähigkeit führte ihn zu einflussreichen Positionen innerhalb von abolitionistischen Gesellschaften, wo er sich mit einzigartiger Einsicht für die Sache der flüchtigen Sklaven einsetzte. Er betrieb eine wichtige Station der Underground Railroad von seinem eigenen Haus aus und dokumentierte akribisch seine Bemühungen, was einen historischen Bericht über seine tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen liefert.

      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.
