Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in the bottom of the barrel, in dark tunnels.

The Bible doesn't explain everything necessary for our intellectual satisfaction, but it explains everything necessary for our obediance.

Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.

A Christian woman's true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate...humble obedience...but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.

By trying to grab fulfillment everywhere, we find it nowhere.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.

Things happen which would not happen without prayer. Let us not forget that.
