The people of God are not merely to mark time, waiting for God to step in and set right all that is wrong. Rather, they are to model the new heaven and new earth, and by so doing awaken longings for what God will someday bring to pass.
Philip Yancey

Doubt always coexists with faith, for in the presence of certainty who would need faith at all?
Philip Yancey
