Growing Toward Maturity

“[God] knows that we will not ultimately be happy or fulfilled unless we are growing toward maturity in him.  So he continually invites us to set aside the temporary, immediate pleasures to work toward a long-term joy that is beyond measure.” --Alan Kent Scholes.

When Good Things Are Corrupted

Often, the troubles in our lives result from good things being misused and corrupted. “C.S. Lewis believed that everything evil, every temptation, was simply something good God had made that had been bent or warped away from its intended purpose.” – Alan Kent Scholes.
