“God's response to Job's profound despair is indicative of the way He responds to all His anxious, fearful, and despairing creatures in the Bible. His reply is not based on circumstances, nor does He explain His providential plan to those who ask for answers. He routinely responds in one way: He proclaims His own character.”

“God’s story for someone’s life may look different than the “typical” story you are used to hearing, but that does not diminish the beauty and gift from God. It does not mean someone has lived life wrong. It means God has something else in store.”

“God’s truth is not in a “holy” book, is not delivered by prophets, has no connection with churches, synagogues and mosques, with commandments and religious prohibitions, with customs, rules, regulations, restrictions on diet and clothing etc. God’s truth is within us and our task is to find the key that unlocks the direct knowledge of God. Everyone has the key, but many will never use it.”

“God’s ways may seem strange to us, but his ways do not have to live up to our standards or our analysis. He is who he is, and we are who we are. He is beyond error, perfect in all his ways. If his ways confuse or disappoint you, guard against the temptation to re-create him into a god you like better. You and I are to humble ourselves before him and seek to conform to his standard, not the other way around. He is sovereign and good, compassionate and merciful. If we do not accept God in his wholeness, we will never experience our own.”

“God's will is often not done. We despoil rivers and lakes. We pollute land and air. We drive species into extinction. Given time we can do worse - or we can, by God's grace, do better. The late Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971), who was a wiser theologian than Senator Inhofe, urged us to pray for "the wisdom to distinguish between those things that can and those things that cannot be changed and for the courage to change those things that should be changed". Certainly the distinction between those things that can and those things that cannot be changed is an important part of the understanding scientists seek. What we all need is the courage to change those things that should be changed.”

“God's Word . . . acts as a spiritual sobriety test. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, gave it to us to enable us to escape walking anymore by the foolish, darkened influence of our own hearts. We must place it above our own feelings and intellect and submit to its judgment. While ignorant, self-flattering people prefer their own subjective brand of guidance, we can trust God's Word to tell us the truth and nothing but the truth, so help us, God. Commit yourself right now to allowing the truth of God's Word to impact your life even when it makes you feel uncomfortable.”

“God’s Word champions His Grace. Where His Word prevails, there is grace. It offers men the courage to face their fears and run their race. His Word helps many find their rightful place. It is strength for those who wield it with faith.”
