“David’s life is example enough of what it is to live in a broken world. He experienced the
clashing of private grief and public duty. He knew deceit and turmoil, heartache, struggling.
But he also knew how to cling to God, how to trust in God and how to worship God. There is
nothing that ever catches God by surprise since He knows everything (omniscient) and sees
everything. Our entire life is laid open bare before God, as was David's. God already knows
about the 'mess­ups' and shortcomings that will cause us to stumble. It is our repentant
attitude that makes all the difference.”

“Satan hates you. But for the most part, he pays you no mind as long as you are entangled in sin and struggling with shame.”

“Would anyone on earth seriously like to defend Abraham – the would-be child killer, the father who unquestioningly agreed to murder his own son because a voice told him to? How can any person on earth regard this person with anything other than the most extreme revulsion? He is not a “good” man. He is the worst man conceivable.”

“One who asks the law to rule, therefore, is held to be asking god and intellect alone to rule, while one who asks man adds the beast. Desire is a thing of this sort; and spiritedness perverts rulers and the best men. Hence law is intellect without appetite.”
― Aristotle, Politics
