“Put first things first and we get second things thrown in:Put second things first and we lose both first things and second things.”— Jim George Related Quotes “If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.”— Charles R. Swindoll “To regret religion is to regret Western civilization.”— Theodore Dalrymple “Holiness isn’t a list of things to do or not do, though—it’s a state of being.

The big Christianese word is sanctification. Sanctification is the hope of humanity. It’s the golden ice-cream for the meal of grace.”— Aaron Mark Reimer
