1 " In a futile attempt to erase our past, we deprive the community of our healing gift. If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others. "
― Brennan Manning , Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging
2 " In my years of global travels, I have seen a world in pain . . . Without God’s guidance, our response to suffering is a futile attempt to find solutions to conditions that cannot be solved. "
― Billy Graham , Billy Graham in Quotes
3 " Nothing seems to satisfy. Not politics, not education, not material goods. Some who refuse to turn their hearts toward God have created the New Age movement, with all of its aberrations. This is actually not new but only the latest attempt by man to place something other than Christ inside himself in a futile attempt to satisfy spiritual longings. "
4 " Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority. "
― R.C. Sproul , The Holiness of God
