Ruth and I don't have a perfect marriage, but we have a great one. How can I say two things that seem so contradictory? In a perfect marriage, everything is always the finest and best imaginable; like a Greek statue, the proportions are exact and the finish is unblemished. Who knows any human being lke that? For a marriage couple to expect perfection in each other is unrealistic.

I know God is in charge. Not me, I'm nothing. I wouldn't be anything except for the power of the spirit of God.

Ringing assurance that we are not alone... That we are assisted and defended by a powerful and glorious order of invisible Beings.

It should not be surprising if people believe easily in a God who makes no demands, but this is not the God of the Bible. Satan has cleverly misled people by whispering that they can believe in Jesus Christ without being changed, but this is the Devil's lie. To those who say you can have Christ without giving anything up, Satan is deceiving you.

Heaven doesn't make this life less important; it makes it more important.

... the thing that kept Christ on that cross was love, not the nail.

Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater-the love of God.
