Every person needs to feel significant. We want our lives to count. We yearn to believe that in some way we are important and that hunger for significance-a drive as intense as our need for oxygen-doesn't come from pride or ego. It comes from God because he wants each of us to understand how important we are. ... We must seek our roots, our origin, and our destiny so that we can know our present value. ..... ...We can help each other realize that we are persons of significance being made in the image of God.

We do not determine right or wrong based on what everybody else is doing.

For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.

There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.

God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.

The higher purpose of the cross was that the Father would be glorified by the satisfaction of His justice.

Prayer is not optional for the Christian; it is required.
