Without immersion in God's words, our prayers may not be merely limited and shallow but also untethered from reality.

If God is real, why does he align perfectly with our views? We should expect God to challenge us on what we think is right somewhere

Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us ... He laid aside the infinities and immensities of His being and, at the cost of His life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in His Father's house. Knowing He did this will transform us from the inside out.

Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.

You won't be able to change the world, yourself, anything, if you don't change yourself inwardly, deeply, enduringly.

God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.

Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
