“For many years in my own pilgrimage of seeking to come to a place of trusting God at all times…I was a prisoner to my feelings. I mistakenly thought I could not trust God unless I felt like trusting Him (which I almost never did in times of adversity). Now I am learning that trusting God is first of all a matter of the will and is not dependent on my feelings. I choose to trust God, and my feelings eventually follow…If we are to trust God, we must choose to believe His truth. We must say, “I will trust You though I do not feel like doing so.”

“A culture that is rooted more in images than in words will find it increasingly difficult to sustain any broad commitment to any truth, since truth is an abstraction requiring language.”
