"One of Satan's most deceptive and powerful ways of defeating us is to get us to believe a lie. And the biggest lie is that there are no consequences to our own doing. Satan will give you whatever you ask for if it will lead you where he ultimately wants you."

“The reason for our success is no secret. It comes down to one single principle that transcends time and geography, religion and culture. Itâ€™s the Golden Rule â€“ the simple idea that if you treat people well, the way you would like to be treated, they will do the same.”
“Those who dare to interpret God's will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.”
“We will all be far better spouses, parents, and leaders as we take time to grow in prayer.”
