If God doesn't want something for me, then I shouldn't want it either.

Prayer enters the pool of God's love and widens outward.

We can’t expect the nation to operate by Christian principles… but we can expect this of the church.

We're concerned with how things turn out; God seems more concerned with how we turn out.

The church is, above all, a place to receive grace: it brings forgiven people together with the aim of equipping us to dispense grace to others.

If we comprehend what Christ has done for us, then surely out of gratitude we will strive to live 'worthy' of such great love. We will strive for holiness not to make God love us but because He already does.

The bible never belittles disappointment, but it does add one key word: temporary - What we feel now, we will not always feel. Our disappointment is itself a sign, and aching, a hunger for something better. And faith is, in the end, a kind of homesickness - for a home we have never visited but have never once stopped longing for.
