An untested faith is an unreliable faith.

I would rather walk every day in the darkness with a God who remains a mystery to me than in the light with a God I completely understand.

Fallen man is both terrified of vulnerability and committed to maintaining independence.

People with depression have something very valuable to teach us... how to live when it doesn't ever feel good.

In the United States, if one family out of every four churches adopted a child, there would be no orphans in the country

When you are wanting to comfort someone in their grief take the words 'at least' out of your vocabulary. In saying them you minimise someone else's pain...Don't take someone else's grief and try to put it in a box that YOU can manage. Learn to truly grieve with others for as long as it may take.

We try to bargain with God...I will follow you but don't touch my children, or my husband, don't give me cancer...We are afraid our surrender to God will unleash evil. But evil will come, because evil will come. We live in a broken world.

The greatest weapon we have against evil is doing good in Jesus' name.

Believe that there is a purpose in your pain.
