“Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.”

If you are ignorant of God’s Word, you will always be ignorant of God’s will.

Don’t let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.

Our world today so desperately hungers for hope, yet uncounted people have almost given up. There is despair and hopelessness on every hand. Let us be faithful in proclaiming the hope that is in Jesus.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Christ not only died for all: He died for each.

If ever there was a time this country needed the intervention of God, it is now.

Don’t worry about what you can’t do; focus instead on what you can do… and then do it.

Becoming a Christian is the work of a moment; being a Christian is the work of a lifetime.

Even if we may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen to us, we can know He is able to bring good out of evil, and triumph out of suffering.

You can’t control the length of your life. You can control the depth

People don’t behave in angry ways unless they are feeling stressed and conflicted too.

Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart. Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.

Perhaps one day, all these conflicts will end, and it won’t be because of great statesmen or churches or organisations like this one. It’ll be because people have changed. They’ll be like you, Puffin. More a mixture. So why not become a mongrel? It’s healthy.

I see no contradiction between Buddhism and Christianity. I intend to become as good a Buddhist as I can.

In a word, growth and improvement can come through pain and conflict.
