She stood and tried hard not to believe in God. It seemed mean and petty to have more belief in God when things were going well than when they were instinct with tragedy; just as it seemed mean and petty to pray to God when you wanted something badly, and not pray when you didn't.

Satan wants to claim our souls and those of our children. He want our marriages and our families to fail. He wants darkness to reign.

When we live in an environment filled with honest love, we are much freer to give more of our effort to other aspects of the work [of God]. I doubt there can be happy life without love, and the more honest the love, the more fulfilling the life.

It is not unusual for the question to be raised, "Is the Sabbath a law that we Christians have to keep?" The answer is that if we have to be reminded, commanded, or coerced to observe it, it ceases to serve its function. The Sabbath is not the sort of thing that should have to be regulated by rules. It is the way we acknowledge that God is on the throne, that this world is his world, that our time is his gift to us.

Our world does not reduce God by distributing his power to other deities. Rather, we reduce God by making him a figurehead.

The Bible considers it much more important to say that God has made everything work rather than being content to say that God made the physical stuff.

We must be cautious that as we accept by faith that nothing is too hard for God, we do not begin to dictate to him which hard thing he must do. He tends to have things in mind that go far beyond what we are able to ask or even think.

But our God is a God of grace. If we desire to be like him, we need to go beyond being people who are saved by grace to be people who are characterized by grace.

Since my money is God's money, every spending decision I make is a spiritual decision.

We have sought for devices that make us feel good without being good. We have tried to banish evil without quitting evil. In the end, we have sought peace of mind without moral price. Simply stated, we want the gifts of God without the need of God.

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. (PSALM 19:1–4)
