I came to Him because I did not know which way to turn. I remained with Him because there is no other way I wish to turn. I came to Him longing for something I did not have. I remain with Him because I have something I will not trade. I came to Him as a stranger. I remain with Him in the most intimate of friendships. I came to Him unsure about the future. I remain with Him certain about my destiny. I came amid the thunderous cries of a culture that has 330 million deities. I remain with Him knowing that truth cannot be all-inclusive.

The ultimate test of any civilization is how we treat the most vulnerable... what we do to our children. Our world has lost its direction.

There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.

Where the eye is focused, there the imagination finds its raw material. The right focus must be won at immense cost and discipline. Train the eye to see the good, and the imagination will follow suit.

The loneliest people in the world are those who have exhausted pleasure and come away empty.

What does it mean to be human? It means we are created in the image of God for the glorious reality of being in permanent fellowship with Him.

Isn't it ironic that after 70 years Russia wants God back while we are trying to kick him out?
