Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is nothelpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.

Eric Liddell

Quietness of soul is evidence of maturity.

Fred Smith

When I die, I shall then have my greatest grief and my greatest joy—my greatest grief that I have done so little for Jesus, and my greatest joy that Jesus has done so much for me.

William Grimshaw

If I were a girl, I'd despair. The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them.

Robert Graves

What are the odds of a monkey typing one predetermined nine-letter word, such as "evolution"? We'll give Huxley a break, and assume a typewriter with only letters, no other symbols. Obviously, the first letter, "e", would be a piece of cake. But to get "evolution", since the alphabet has 26 letters, one must multiply 26 by itself eight times. We find the monkey would need, on average, more than five trillion attempts just to write "evolution" once correctly. Typing ten letters per minute, this would take over a million years. To get two consecutive predetermined nine-letter words-such as "evolution commenced"-would take more than a billion billion years, taking us much further back than the Big Bang, which supposedly occurred some 15 billion years ago.

James Perloff in The Case Against Darwin

Let's admit it, constant busyness is personal and public evidence that we do not trust God to provide. Priorities, schedules, and Sabbaths are outward demonstrations of trust in the Lord.

Leith Anderson

Jesus, thank You that because of Your constant presence, I am never alone. Hold my hand tightly, Lord. Although afflictions may torment me, they can never defeat me.
