61 " Thus says the LORD: Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom, do not let the mighty boast in their might, do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth; but let those who boast boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the LORD; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the LORD. Jeremiah 9:23–24 "

62 " Do you think it was part of some plan, that you got shot so you would end up in that church and discover religion?' Bruce shook his head. 'I got shot because someone was willing to exchange the name of an undercover cop for a lot of cash. Ending up in church--God was just kind enough to make something come out of the disaster that hit my life. "

63 " Think of normal as being what God intends for your life. Un-normal is everything that's something other than His plans for you. Life gets easier that way . . . . Go ahead and stress about what you should care about, but ignore the rest. -Mark Bishop "

67 " Maybe, but it’s more than that. She intrigues me. There’s a light in her that wants to shine, but the darkness won’t let it. I want to help push the darkness aside so she can find that light again. "

68 " The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. "
69 " Dating was always a give-and-take. He showed his best side, so did she, and it took time to get past that effort to get to know the real person. The long-term future of the relationship depended on the ability to clearly see the other person and figure out if they were a good fit together. "
70 " Can I do anything for you? Bake you cookies? Walk your dogs? Throw snowballs? Just generally be a distraction? "
71 " Ann- You're kind of cute when you are trying to figure out how to kill time. Paul- Cute? "
72 " To some people who said they believed, religion was a word; to others, it defined who they were. "

73 " God made the ability to feel pain. He didn’t have to, you know. He made the ability to feel pain and He also made it possible to feel joy. Should I hate Him for allowing one and praise Him for allowing the other? God knew what He was doing. I may not always agree, but that is part of what respecting His authority means.” She "

74 " God didn’t create evil in the world, but He did create free will, which allowed for the possibility of evil. Science isn’t like that. What you explore and find, God did create. It already exists. When you find it, you are discovering something God made. And everything God created is good. God said so in Genesis. He looked around at everything He had made and said, ‘It is very good. "
75 " We either live as who we are, as new creations in Christ and yield to God as he transforms us—I am the workmanship of God—or we live this mishmash of part faith and part works trying to make our lives work by our own efforts. That is the recipe for sickness, discouragement, confusion about God and disappointment with our own efforts to live a Christian life. The real Christian life is what most people miss; it is Christ living in us. Anything that shows up that doesn’t match up with Christ, it’s the old nature. We just haven’t told people ‘when the old nature shows up, consider it dead, because it is, toss it in the trash and don’t live that way. Instead rejoice that your new nature is like Jesus’ and you’ll start looking a lot like that new nature. "

79 " People die. But when they love Jesus, they don't stay dead. They are raised to life again so they can be with Jesus. And for all eternity, for years and years and years of forever, they never have to think about death. It will never be something that will happen again. They will always and forever be alive, in heaven. "

80 " But God decided to create a world where free will was more important than no one ever getting hurt. There must be something stunningly beautiful and remarkable about free will that only God can truly grasp, because God hates, literally abhors, evil, yet He created a world where evil could happen if people chose it. God sees something in free will and choice that’s worth tolerating the horrifying blackness that would appear if evil was chosen rather than good. I find that utterly remarkable. "
