0:00.0	When God sees you showing mercy, it'll override your sentence of judgment.
0:05.7	Dr. Tony Evans says those who give out of their love for God can expect to receive his favor.
0:11.5	When he sees you caring for somebody else, it'll enhance his care for you.
0:17.0	This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president of the Urban Alternative.
