A Sunday school teacher was telling her youngsters about Daniel and the Lion's Den. To illustrate the lesson she had a picture of Daniel standing, brave and confident, with a group of lions around him. Suddenly, one little girl started to cry.
The teacher said, "Don't cry. The lions are not going to eat Daniel."
Holding back sobs and tears the girl said, "That's not what I'm crying about. That little lion, over in the corner, isn't going to get anything to eat."
"God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity we plan to do only the things that we can do by ourselves."

I recently overheard a boss talking to one of his employees at a restaurant recently.
"Was your wife mad when you got home so late last night?" the boss asked.
"Yes, she was plumb historical," the employee replied.
"Don't you mean hysterical?"
"No, I mean historical. She brought up things that happened forty years ago."
"Not for me to win, but to keep everyone else safe."

"When the voice of the church is but an echoing of the culture’s voices and not a voice from beyond, it may not be the right voice."
