Dare we doubt such a God? Dare we murmur against such a God?”

“Satan, who I believe exists as much as I believe Jesus exists, wants us to believe meaningless things for meaningless reasons.”

“We admire and love those people who constantly tease us, but we are doubtful of those who show us too much love.”
