We know that God disciplines His children, and that testing, suffering, and persecution come to us from Heaven to stretch, grow, and mature us into the men and women God intends to make us... If we keep this in mind when hard times fall, it can be a real source of joy in the fire.

God steps into the suffering with us, and He takes it on himself, and He walks through it with us, and He uses it to create something in you that is #‎ unstoppable .

I'm a man of convictions. If you press me about how I feel about an issue, you're going to see my convictions.

Every candle that gets lit in the dark room must feel a little rejection from the darkness around it, but the last thing I want from those who hold a different world view to me is to accept me.

I should be able to express moral views on social issues without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach ‘tolerance’ that I need to either bend my beliefs to their moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square.

Our first priority is our kids.
