Ultimate Victory
“It is God who provides the way of escape—not out of our trials, but rather through them. He enables us to bear testing, not avoid it (1 Cor. 10:13). And He uses our tribulations to accomplish His wonderful purpose in us (Rom. 5:3-5, James 1:3-4).” —Phil Johnson at Pyromaniacs
Ultimately in Charge
“I don’t care if you use permit, allow, or ordained; it’s all the same thing. Ultimately it goes back to God being in charge. I don’t think there is a real difference.” —Joni Eareckson Tada at Christianity Today
