“Yet joy remains even when happiness fades. No matter the circumstance, Christians who plant their hope in God can harvest genuine joy in the rocky soil of adversity or in the deepest, darkest valley of pain.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“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

“Instead of whining, try lamenting.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“So wichtig sicher die Kategorie von Verheißung und Erfüllung für das Verhältnis von Altem und Neuem Testament ist, so groß ist auch die Gefahr, Christus im Alten Testament nicht als den Gegenwärtigen, sondern nur als den großen Abwesenden zu finden.”
― Benjamin Kilchör, "Und es geschah eine Stimme aus der Wolke..."
