What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them...we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.

The idea of the divine-human friendship originated with God. Had not God said first 'Ye are my friends?' (John 15:14)

Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?

God doesn't need anything nevertheless He wants worshipers.
