·         No one is committed to anything anymore.
 
·         People make promises that they never intend to keep.

·         We are to be fully committed [...]

 
·         Last week we look at the question, “What Can One Do?”
 
·         Tonight we look at another question, “What Can We Do?”
 
·         We makes the questions refer to us as a group.
 
·         If one person can change the lives of thousands, what can a group with a common purpose accomplish?
