“Faith in Christ is voluntary. A person cannot be coerced, bribed, or tricked into trusting Jesus. God will not force His way into your life. The Holy Spirit will do everything possible to disturb you, draw you, love you—but finally it is your personal decision.”

Those who successfully come through the “furnace of affliction” are the ones who emerge “like gold tried in the fire.”

A loving God reaching down to sinful humans was unthinkable.”
