“Jesus defeated death by his own death. Satan sought to be the devourer, but he ended up being the one devoured—because God cannot die. As God, Jesus is life, and so death has no power over him. Jesus—who is both God and man—suffered and died and rose again in his human body. With his flesh and blood intact, he destroyed death and made captivity captive.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“Faith is the hand that grasps the promises of God. Faith is trust—faith is reliance on God and his word. It’s a two-party arrangement, a mutual bond, and while God remains steady and firm, we often falter”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“God’s word does what it says. It transforms sinners into saints by the forgiveness of their sins. It changed meaningless chaos into order at creation, and his word can do the same for you.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“Instead of whining, try lamenting.”
