“Trials will confront your theology and expose your weaknesses and limitations more than you ever thought that they would - but the trials will not consume you.”

“Being a follower of Jesus Christ does not make us exempt from ashes. Being a child of God does not spare you from the heaviness of a cross. Scripture is filled with accounts and examples of God taking His cherished children and boiling all the refuse, and chaff, and sin from their hearts.

“If your faith rests in your idea of how God is supposed to answer your prayers, your idea of heaven here on earth or pie in the sky or whatever, then that kind of faith is very shaky and is bound to be demolished when the storms of life hit it. But if your faith rests on the character of Him who is the eternal I AM, then that kind of faith is rugged and will endure.”
