The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge--that of being a godly woman. The very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom to we hear of a godly woman--or of a godly man either, for that matter. I believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else.

The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration.

Unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.

The proof of how real Jesus knew hell to be is that He came to earth to save us from it.

No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.

The use of the right word, the exact word, is the difference between a pencil with a sharp point and a thick crayon.

It is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail.
