a couple quotes from chapter 6 of war of words:
"to the degree that you have based your life on something other than the Lord, to that degree God's love and the hope of the gospel will not comfort you," (98).
"God is willing to compromise physical things--a satisfying job, encouraging friendships, a pastor who really seems to care about you, or a budget that seems to be working--to produce something greater, fuller, and deeper in us: genuine faith. this is what God is after in the experiences that make us wonder if he really loves us, if he hears our prayers, experiences that cause us to envy other believers, or maybe even people who don't know him... the struggles are not a mistake. they are tokens of redemptive love. trials should not lead us to doubt the love of the King; they should convince us of it," (94).

- I joined staff with Veritas after graduation and am excited to start off this school year with an updated blog. If you're looking for me downtown, you'll probably find me at a coffee shop with a book in hand and a mug full of steaming coffee that I am absolutely enjoying.
