The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
If God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where should I be now?
The lost enjoy forever the horrible freedom they have demanded.
Our Heavenly Father has provided many delightful inns for us along our journey, but he takes great care to see that we do not mistake any of them for home.
I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.
We are finite and God will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us.
To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.
Selfishness has never been admired.
Obedience is the road to freedom, humility the road to pleasure, unity the road to personality.
The enemy will not see you vanish into God's company without an effort to reclaim you.
The very man who has argued you down, will sometimes be found, years later, to have been influenced by what you said
The most dangerous ideas in a society are not the ones being argued, but the ones that are assumed.
Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.
