Grace is not only God’s disposition to do good for us when we don’t deserve it. It is also a power that makes good things happen in us.

Have Mercy on Me, O God 10.08.2025 2:16

Faith is like muscle tissue: if you stress it to the limit, it gets stronger, not weaker. When your faith is tested, the result is greater capacity to endure.

God’s Plan for Martyrs 29.07.2025 3:37
