“God has plans, not problems for our lives. The life of a Christian is an education for a higher service. God is training you for something.”

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

Don’t hold onto anything so tightly that Jesus can’t take it from you.

A religion that is small enough for our understanding would not be big enough for our needs.

You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.
