“New ideas are rightly suspect because they are often heretical. However, when biblical truths have been long neglected or ignored, attempts to present them may sound far-fetched. They may appear to be adding to or misinterpreting Scripture, when in fact they are simply portraying what Scripture has said all along but we’ve failed to grasp.”

from Heaven
“When you pretend you don’t feel hurt or angry or devastated, you’re not fooling God. Be honest! Don’t misunderstand; I am not encouraging you to be angry at God or to blame him. He deserves no blame. Rather, I am encouraging you to honestly confess to God your feelings of hurt, resentment, and anger. Often we look at suffering from our perspective and forget that God sees from another vantage point.”
“Without Christ not one step,” David Livingstone declared, “with Him anywhere.”
“Life on Earth is a dot, a brief window of opportunity; life in Heaven (and ultimately on the New Earth) is a line going out from that dot for eternity. If we’re smart, we’ll live not for the dot but for the line.”
“Prayer isn’t the least we can do; it’s the most.”
“In the Bible, Jesus says more than anyone else about Hell. He refers to it as a literal place and describes it in graphic terms. Jesus taught that in Hell the wicked suffer terribly, are fully conscious, retain their desires and memories and reasoning, long for relief, cannot be comforted, cannot leave their torment, and are bereft of hope. The Savior could not have painted a bleaker picture.”
“Africa runs on her own time and showed no respect for my “early bird gets the worm” mentality. Most of what brought me success or won achievement at home simply didn’t work in Africa.”
“As I look back on my life I see the many successes that have happened in my lifetime but justice is something for which every generation has to strive.”
“Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what is good in His sight. (2 Samuel 10:12)”
“Cada vez que el hombre decide amar verdaderamente a Dios y a su prójimo, significa salir de su zona de comodidad a un lugar donde tiene que ensuciarse las manos”
“la apatía y la cobardía de una generación pueden desperdiciar y borrar lo que generaciones anteriores consiguieron con sangre, sudor y lágrimas.”
“And here’s why, as Paul went on to say: Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. (1 Timothy 6:9–10)”
“Run for the hills. The Bible commands us to “flee immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18). Only a fool says, “I can handle temptation without sinning.” The wise man says, “I’m not going anywhere near it.”
“El pecado puede ser placentero durante unos minutos, pero nos deja con una lista a largo plazo de problemas graves:”
“A man “is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man” (1 Corinthians 11:7).”
