Who cannot feel sorry for the people in these awful circumstances. To be homeless is to be uncomfor

Quotes by David P. Murray  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Whatever you will complete or not today, rest in the only work that will never need to be done again. Rest in the fact that Jesus has done the most impossible job in the world, done it perfectly, and made it available. Take it. Enjoy it. Build your life on it. Let it change your whole view of your life and work. Use His work to put your work into perspective. Believe His work is counted as yours. Despite all that you fear and dread about the next ten hours—a critical boss, a vicious competitor, a looming deadline, a complaining customer, an impossible sales target, unrelenting children, monotonous drudge—you have Christ’s perfect work credited to your account.”
David P. Murray , The Happy Christian: Ten Ways to Be a Joyful Believer in a Gloomy World

“David and other psalmists often found themselves deeply depressed for various reasons. They did not, however, apologize for what they were feeling, nor did they confess it as sin. It was a legitimate part of their relationship with God. They interacted with Him through the context of their depression.2”
David P. Murray, Christians Get Depressed Too

“Many of our problems happen not only because we do the wrong things, but also because we believe the wrong things. Behind many seemingly practical problems are theological problems.”
David P. Murray, Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture
