1 " We should never give thanks to God for sin, or, for that matter, we should never give thanks to God for Satan. But we can give thanks for the way God uses evil to accomplish His purposes. We can give thanks for our own struggles and temptations and say, “Even in this, God is good and His will is being done. "

2 " We might be able to control our decisions, but we cannot control the results. Sin triggers the law of unintended consequences. "

4 " If only I weren’t a Christian, think of all the fun things I could do!” Thus, while others enjoy the pleasures of sin, we, poor creatures that we are, must stay at home and be content with the limitless wonders of God’s matchless grace. Thus the sons of the King of kings feel sorry for themselves! "
