We must never minimize the suffering of another. Scripture's mandate to us is, "Weep with them that weep." (Romans 12:15, KJV)

Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Every day without exception - is a gift from God, entrusted to us to use for His glory.

If God were to remove all evil from our world (but somehow leave human beings on the planet), it would mean that the essence of 'humanness' would be destroyed. We would become robots.

God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness.
