- If we want to know the truth, we should ask lots of questions and reconsider our beliefs.
- If people can ignore the reality of God’s presence, their imaginations can make lies appear to be truths.
- The blind leading the blind cannot avoid the ditch, but walking with the Lord keeps us safe.
- An encyclopedia is filled with knowledge, but we need the Holy Spirit for such information to give us intelligence and wisdom.
- God uses trying times to lead us to repentance, not regret.
- Today, I am determined to do whatever is most pleasing to the Lord, which makes it possible for me to do even better tomorrow.
- We need the light of God to see well, or we’ll stumble in the darkness.
- Being thankful for God’s gifts is good, but being thankful for the use of his gifts for good is even better.

- We may not know how, when, or where, but the strength of our faith in surrender to God’s will must inevitably move mountains.

- Ignorance is the weakest excuse for accomplishing nothing, because we already know enough to do something worthwhile.
- Wondering may stumble upon an answer, but asking one who knows is the better approach.
- I am limited in my pace, unwilling to drag my feet or run too fast, because I dare not fall behind nor run ahead of God, who walks with me.
