Within evangelicalism is a distressing drift toward accepting a Christianity that does not demand a life-changing walk with God. Many evangelicals (today) do not realize that the church has always been an island of righteousness in a sea of paganism, but as a result they turned the world upside-down.

Thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness in our pain is the indisputable proof that we believe God is a part of our pain.

Thank God for the way He made you. You are special, distinct, and unique. You were not made from a common mold. Thank Him that you are special.

The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!
