Josh McDowell
“Religion is humans trying to work their way to God through good works. Christianity is God coming to men and women through Jesus Christ.”
Josh McDowell, Evidence That Demands a Verdict: Life-Changing Truth for a Skeptical World

“Every six minutes in America, there is a forcible rape. That’s three hundred thousand women violently raped every single year, and according to the Department of Justice, that’s a low estimate. The CDC guesses that as many as 1.5 million women are raped every year.”
Katie Pavlich, Assault and Flattery: The Truth About the Left and Their War on Women

Timothy J. Keller
“The amazing truth is that God works through sinners, and through sinful situations. He keeps his promises to bless his people in the dark and disastrous periods of our lives, as well as through the times when things are going “right.” Not even our own sin will stop him saving us, or using us. Mysteriously, often unseen, and usually far beyond our comprehension, God works through the free (and very often flawed) choices people make: “In all things, God works for the good of those who love him” (Romans 8:28).”
Timothy J. Keller, Judges For You

Ronald Reagan
“Tuesday, March 3 [Meetings with economist Arthur Burns regarding China, and with President Ford on economy; message from Pope John Paul II expressing general greetings; VFW reception for Senator Laxalt (R-NV); dinner party.] During day I did a 1 hr. interview with Walter Cronkite—his last for CBS. He spent the 1st 20 min’s. on El Salvador. He didn’t throw any slow balls but the reaction was favorable. Because of our dinner we couldn’t watch the show but I was treated to another W.H. service. They taped the program & played it back to us later in the evening.”
Ronald Reagan, The Reagan Diaries

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The extemporaneous prayer at the close of daily worship normally will be said by the head of the house [Hausvater]. But in any case it is best that it always be said by the same person.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
