“God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of His life in us.”

“Our conduct has a direct influence on how people think about the gospel. The world doesn't judge us by our theology; the world judges us by our behavior. People don't necessarily want to know what we believe about the Bible. They want to see if what we believe makes a difference in our lives. Our actions either bring glory to God or misrepresent His truth.”

“God brings people into our lives precisely when we need them.”

“... We can't control the turn of events. All we can do is ask God for power in your life to go through whatever may be ahead. He has not promised us easy ways out of our problems, but He has promised His strength when we need it to go through adversity”

“Whatever terrific events may inform our lives, it always comes to that in the end; we just want to lie down.”

“We may think we live for wisdom, but in fact we're living for the the pleasure wisdom brings us.”
