“Until the Good News of Jesus Christ burst onto the human scene,
the word love was understood mostly in terms of seeking one’s own advantage. Loving the unlovely was incomprehensible
A loving God reaching down to sinful humans was unthinkable.”

“When disappointment or tragedy or suffering strikes, we have a decision to make: Will we turn away from God, or will we turn toward Him? Which road will we take? One road leads to doubt, anger, bitterness, fear, hopelessness, and despair.
The other leads to hope, comfort, peace, strength, and joy.”
