As a Londoner I was able to see how the world of power and money cast its shadow on those who failed.
Christian hedonists don't discount suffering, they just don't give up until they find the gain in loss.
Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.

We want Christ to hurry and calm the storm. He wants us to find him in the midst of it first.

Every day, women move mountains. It is an insult to have an international women's day.
