"The most important Christians are not the ones who preach great sermons and write great books, but the ones who pray, and pray, and pray some more, sharing the quiet but effective victory of Jesus over all that defaces God's creation."
- John Piper, Lent for Everyone
"The very first Easter taught us this: that life never ends and love never dies."
- Kate McGahan
The Sunday School teacher was speaking to her class one morning and she asked the question, "When you die and go to Heaven...which part of your body goes first?"
Emma raised her hand and said, "I think it's your hands."
"Why do you think it's your hands, Emma?"
Emma replied, "Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and so I think God just takes your hands first."
"Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?"
- Isaiah
