“Parents, pray that God may crown your home with grace and mercy.”

“Nowhere has God promised anyone, even His children, immunity from sorrow, suffering, and pain.

“Many people ask about Christianity the same [way] they ask about everything else today: “What’s in it for me?” In our selfishness, we think of God as we think of everyone else. What can He contribute to us, personally?”

“Just because a person claims to be a Christian does not necessarily mean that he is one.”

“Who can tell us how to get along with each other better than God? Where can we turn for wisdom better than God’s Word, the Bible?”
