If Jesus had not risen from the dead, no right-minded person would have glorified anything so hideous and repulsive as a cross stained with the blood of Jesus.An unopened grave would never have opened heaven.

We are more united than ever before. I think this was exemplified in a very moving way when the members of our Congress stood shoulder to shoulder the other day and sang God Bless America.

The most remarkable thing about suffering is that God can use it for our good.

The philosopher says think your way out. The sensualist says play your way out but none of it works.

I am convinced that these heavenly beings exist and that they provide unseen aid on our behalf.

Embracing conflict can be a joy when we know that irritation and frustration can lead to growth and the re-engergizing of ourselves and others. Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything.

When God forgives us and purifies us of our sin, He also forgets it. Forgiveness results in God dropping the charges against us.
