All of us must walk the same strait and narrow path, know the same kind of experiences as those we would seek to lead and to serve. There is not one strait and narrow path for the officers-the chosen-and another for the enlisted men. We are all to experience life "according to the flesh"; there is no other way, for it is the way to immortality and eternal life. Given the resplendent riches of the promised kingdom, why would anyone wish to walk another path than the one that leads us back to our gracious and merciful Father in Heaven?

When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed

Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.

The winds of tribulation, which blow out some men's candles of commitment, only fan the fires of faith of others.

Never give up what you want most for what you want today.

We cannot lead or draw others to Christ unless we stand closer to Him than they do.

In the economy of Heaven, God does not send thunder if a still, small voice is enough, or a prophet if a priest can do the job.
