Quotes by David Joannes (?)

“Blaise Pascal wrote, “God made man in his own image, and man returned the compliment.”

“God delights in the obedient human response to a divine calling. It is His good pleasure to honor the willing heart, lauding obedience, even glorifying an earthen vessel by infusing it with all-surpassing power.”
― David Joannes, The Space Between Memories: Recollections from a 21st Century Missionary

“Sadly, too many Christians let their friends wander along Hades Highway without trying to stop them. They’re afraid to warn their colleagues of the impending doom because they don’t want to come across as killjoys. As their neighbors walk oblivious along the path to hell, they watch from a distance with mouths shut.”
