“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”
― Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“Instead of whining, try lamenting.”

“The Christian life is upside down. It follows the pattern of Jesus’ cross. As he won by losing, so we live by dying. In his cross and by his death he won life for us all. So upon his invitation we follow Jesus even though it may bring us suffering, misery, and loss.”

“Cemeteries” were barracks for the dead in Christ, who waited to be awakened with Christ’s return.”

“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.”
