Only if God can say things that make you struggle will you know that you have met a real God and not a figment of your imagination.

Suffering is actually at the heart of the Christian story.

Prayer is the way to experience a powerful confidence that God is handling our lives well, that our bad things will turn out for good, our good things cannot be taken from us, and the best things are yet to come.

If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did.

How could a good, all-powerful God allow suffering?

Grace is to be let into a place that you don't have a right to be.

The determining factor in our relationship with God is not our past but Christ's past.
