A realist is an idealist who has gone through the fire and been purified. A skeptic is an idealist who has gone through the fire and been burned.

In our universe there is God and there are people and things. We were made so that we should worship God, love people and use things. However if we worship ourselves, we will ignore God, start loving things and begin to use people.

Jonah saw God's will as punishment. Jesus saw God's will as nourishment.

Don't waste your sufferings.

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

The world changes - circumstances change, we change - but God's Word never changes

If the Lord calls you, He will equip you for the task He wants you to fulfill
