“The Apostle Paul gives us a good verse to deal with the problem of worry” (Page 149)
“A selfish person is not one filled with love. A selfish person puts themselves first and everything else, including God, after them. A selfish person will not sacrifice. Lack of giving when the offering plate goes by is a lack of love, not a lack of lucre. A selfish person has poor manners, is inconsiderate of others, is rude and unkind. True love is just the opposite.” (Page 122)
“This says we have no excuse if we fail in the temptation. God will not allow any temptation to be stronger than our spiritual strength to defeat it.” (Page 121)
“Failure to defeat temptation is never God’s fault, but is always the tempted’s fault.” (Page 121)
“Much that is called love today is foul and filthy and has nothing to do with love” (Page 122)
