When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
Timothy KellerWhile your character flaws may have created mild problems for other people, they will create major problems for your spouse and your marriage.
Timothy KellerChristianity teaches that, contra fatalism, suffering is overwhelming; contra Buddhism, suffering is real; contra karma, suffering is often unfair; but contra secularism, suffering is meaningful. There is a purpose to it, and if faced rightly, it can drive us like a nail deep into the love of God and into more stability and spiritual power than you can imagine.
