Temptation and testing (or a trial) are two sides of the same coin. Satan uses an occasion or a person to tempt us to fall God uses the same to try us and make us stronger.

Pity the married couple who expect too much from one another.

God does not punish us for our sins but by them.

The city is not changing anything, ... increases in the cost of natural gas will be passed through to the customer.

Worship and worry cannot live in the same heart: they are mutually exclusive.

God has not always answered my prayers. If He had, I would have married the wrong man -- several times!

My job is to take care of the possible and to trust God with the impossible.

Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed

We cannot pray and remain the same.

Every cat knows some things need to be buried.

If our children have the background of a godly, happy home and this unshakable faith that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, they will have a foundation that the forces of hell cannot shake.

It is a foolish woman who expects her husband to be to her that which only Jesus Christ Himself can be: always ready to forgive, totally understanding, unendingly patient, invariably tender and loving, unfailing in every area, anticipating every need, and making more than adequate provision. Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain

It takes more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God.

Love without clinging, cry if you must, but privately cry, the heart will adjust.

Death - Death can be faced, dealt with, adjusted to, outlived. It's the not knowing that destroys interminably... This being suspended in suspense waiting - weightless, How does one face the faceless, adjust to nothing? Waiting implies something to wait for. Is there? There is One. One who knows... I rest my soul on that.
