“Beliefs are personal, but universal truths are above that. For example, the surface temperature of the sun is around 5,505 degrees Celsius – the speed of light is around 300,000 kilometers per second – the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old – modern day chimps are the closest cousins of us humans. These are irrefutable universal truth, regardless of what anyone believes.”

“Faith is the divine strength of life.”

“Regardless of how you came to doubt, doubt itself is not the problem, but what can be problematic and even tragic is what you do with your doubt.”

“Faith is the force of being.”

“When it comes to doubt, there is not one size that fits all. Some people struggle with it and some people don’t. Some people scream their way into doubt through pain and suffering, while others seem to drift into doubt. It’s that simple and that complex.”

“Faith is a spiritual force.”

“Doubting is not unique to a person or a time period. It is the nature of being a finite human living in a complex world filled with pain and disappointment and questions about existence that will never be answered.”

“Doubting is biblical, historical, and normal for many Christians who are trying to follow God in their lifetimes. It takes courage to face uncertainty and to live with doubts that may never completely go away.”

“Premeditated anger is a bitch. Instead of saying, “Next time he does this, I will … “, say, “Next time he does that, I will show him more patience and more love. That’s premeditative love. She’s much sexier!”

“You’ll still be my light in the dark, Cat. Even if you fall.”

“Most people believe in God because they think he’s comforting, not because they think he’s real.”

“The fear of a man is a snare. But the fear of God is a safe haven.”

“Pray for a clearer path.”

“I don’t want you to think you’ve been forgotten by creation. Sometimes it takes a long road for things to become clear. It’s not a failure. It’s an unveiling and so much more powerful because of your wait.”

“You have a God-given right to exist. Your life is an aspect of creation experiencing living. Never a waste. NEVER!”
