“There will come a time when people hungering for the truth will seek it where it is supposedly disseminated, such as books and churches, but they will not hear the Word of the Lord.

And so they wander from one place to another, going from hope to despair, and eventually giving up.”

“The cross has become a symbol in much of the Western world, misused by many rock stars and others who do not comprehend its significance.”

“We have exchanged love of family and home for cyberfriends and living in constant motion that robs the soul from memories—and perhaps from that still, small voice that longs to be heard.”
