No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.

A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside.

We get angry when we feel like God owes us a better life than we have.

Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?
Timothy Keller

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
