“When everything else is in ruins, family is all we have. And God, of course.”

“Because sometimes doing the right thing when everything else is wrong is all we have left.”

“Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn to God when everything is going well for us. We 'have all we want' is a terrible saying when 'all' does not include God. We find God an interruption.”

“Our fights should really be for the mission of the church and the mission of the family instead of trying to have bigger churches or better families. When it comes to entities that god has created specifically to make disciples and accomplish His mission (of influencing a generation to have a stronger, deeper, and more authentic relationship with God), there is the church...the family...and nothing else.”

“He (God) will have us even though we prefer everything else to Him because there is 'nothing better' now to be had.”

“we are not here just because we have nowhere else; we need nowhere else, because we have the Institute, and those who are in it are our family.”
