"I want you to imagine for a moment what those 1,600 people felt like last week when they got that letter in the mail—what was going on in those houses when they got that letter in the mail, and all of a sudden they realize that their debt, this debt that has been hanging over their head has been forgiven ... That's exactly what God in the person of Jesus Christ wants you to feel each and every day—that your debt has been forgiven." -Pastor Tod Carter
