“Christianity has its roots in the deep, firm soil of history. Jesus’ incarnation—God invading human history with His presence in the form of man—is on the record. Every time you write the date, you attest to the fact that God entered human history.”

“True love is an act of the will—a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves.”

But God has promised, in the midst of trouble and conflict, a genuine peace, a sense of assurance and security, that the worldly person never knows.”

“If [Jesus] felt that He had to pray, how much more do we need to pray!”
