God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!

I wished God were like He used to be, a few notches lower. I wanted Him to be lofty enough to help me but not so uncontrollable. I longed for His warm presence, times when He seemed more… safe.

God cares most not about making us comfortable, but about teaching us to hate our transgressions and to grow up spiritually to love him.

I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.

There's a big difference between feeling thankful and giving thanks. One response involves emotions, the other, your will. Trusting God has nothing to do with trustful feelings.

I want to stay in the habit of 'glancing' at my problems and 'gazing' at my Lord.

God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.
