Top Highlights
“Men and women of God, seasoned by suffering, learn to take comfort in a difficult, yet reassuring, truth: We have not been called to change the world, or any part of it; God calls ministers to be faithful. The Lord Himself will change the world in His own way and according to His predetermined schedule.” (Page 157)
“The ‘gift of God’ is both the ability and the privilege of preaching and teaching” (Page 167)
“There is no better way to relieve anxiety than to do what is right, always. Whenever we violate our conscience, fear of God’s wrath starts twisting our perspective and gives Satan the opportunity to drive a wedge between us and God. On the other hand, when gratitude, worship, and a clear conscience combine, your mind is free to see the world as the Lord sees it. Furthermore, you’re better able to empathize with others rather than worry about self.” (Page 166)
“‘to weave something together’—the same term used by Matthew, Mark, and John to describe the crown of thorns pressed onto the head of Jesus. The resulting compound word, emplekō [1707], means ‘to weave in’—on purpose, by design, willingly.” (Page 192)
“evil sometimes occupies positions of power that cannot be overthrown. Endure persecution” (Page 231)
