Defend your beliefs with courtesy and with compassion, but defend them.

Surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don't expect it and often feel they don't deserve it.

If something is buried in the past, leave it buried. . . . Such dwelling on past lives, including past mistakes, is just not right! It is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. . . . In cases of marriage and family, . . . we can end up destroying so many others.

Pure Christlike love flowing from true righteousness can change the world.

What was once a tiny seed of belief for me has grown into the tree of life, so if your faith is a little tested in this or any season, I invite you to lean on mine. I know this work is God’s very truth, and I know that only at our peril would we allow doubt or devils to sway us from its path. Hope on. Journey on. Honestly acknowledge your questions and your concerns, but first and forever fan the flame of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe.

Believe in miracles. I have seen so many. They came when every indication would say that Hope was lost. Hope is never lost!

Your love for Jesus Christ and your discipleship in His cause must be the consuming preoccupation and passion of your mortality.
