have is without ultimate significance, value, or purpose. — William Lane Craig

Prayer is not an agency by which my will is to be accomplished upon the earth.

Most of us like thinking we are God's only children...At least one of the purposes of church is to remind us that God has other children, easily as precious as we. Baptism and narcissism cancel each other out. — Barbara Brown Taylor
