“We’ve tried calling sin “errors” or mistakes” or “poor judgment,” but sin itself has stayed the same. No matter how we try to salve our conscience, we’ve known all along that men are still sinners; and the results of sin are still disease, disappointment, disillusionment, despair, and death.”

“It is far better to know God’s truth than to be ignorant of it.”

“Anger makes us lash out at others, destroying relationships and revealing our true nature. The history of the human race is largely the history of its anger.”

“Our culture will stand in roaring ovations for the illusionists, escape artists, and magicians. Deception is everything opposite the truth.”
