--John Ortberg

 

We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that it is God shaking them.

--Charles West

 

Faith is the refusal to panic.

--David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Good lord, are these magnificent quotes!!! WOW!! I have to admit I dont quite get the mortion of doubt being ESSENTIAL to faith. Could you expound on that more in a future post? Does it mean that if I am in doubt, that I am IN faith? Kinda confusing...but boy did I needed these today. I think I may post a link to your blog on my blog cus this is too good to not share. Thanks, Mr. SP..as always, you are a beacon of light on a sometimes dark and dreary trail.
