A Christian begins with the conclusion that a good God will restore creation to its original design, and sees all history as proceeding toward that end.
Philip Yancey
God's desire is to use our powerlessness to send us fleeing back to him. Evil wants it to send us reeling to rely on ourselves with even greater intensity. We unwittingly follow evil's plan when we attempt to escape our powerlessness through martyrdom, rebellion, or disengagement.
Dan Allender
In contrast to many a preacher today, Jesus knew that "love your enemies" didn't mean "don't make any."
William Sloane Coffin
