"... our difficulties can always give us an excuse to sinning... therefore we need to commit ourselves to doing what is right when we face suffering" - Laurie Walsh (Dean of UQ Dent)
"When trouble comes, it is our decision under conscious control to:
- turn to God in prayer... or become bitter
- be quiet & thoughtful... or begin to complain
- be tender & compassionate... or be harsh & cruel
- learn new trust in God... or rebel against Him
- take courage... or begin to fear
- draw close to God in our suffering... or draw away" - Laurie Walsh
"Until we see the propensity of evil in our own hearts we cannot see the power of the gospel" - Richard Chin
"If my eyes are set for mediocrity, I gravitate towards safety and avoid danger, thus avoiding any form of risk taking, thereby rendering myself spiritually ineffective for the Kingdom." - Peter Law (Principal of Crossway Bible College)
