“Much of the world believes little or nothing. People are broad but shallow. Agnosticism, anxiety, emptiness, and meaninglessness have gripped much of the world—and even the church . . .

and passionately dedicated to the God they trusted, and for whom they would willingly have died.”

“We get angry when others hurt us, both by what they say and what they do. We get angry when we don’t get our own way or our plans and dreams are frustrated. Anger may arise in an instant, erupting like a volcano and raining destruction on everyone in sight. Often, anger simmers just below the surface, sometimes for a lifetime. Like a corrosive acid, this kind of anger eats away at our bodies and souls, yet we may not even be aware of its presence.”

“Don’t be bound by the past and its failures. But don’t forget its lessons either.”

“If we who have the Holy Spirit living and working within us falter and fail, what hope is there for the rest of the world?”
