Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

Auschwitz stands as a tragic reminder of the terrible potential man has for violence and inhumanity.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me', or 'Help me'.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

God's mercy and grace give me hope — for myself, and for our world.
