We are partners with our children because we are just like them, dearly loved sinners.

We need days of failure because they help humble us, and through them we can see how God's grace is poured out on the humble.

Believe that God is strong enough to save your children, no matter how you fail.

Idolatry, like all sin, is devastating to the soul. It cuts us off from the comforts of grace, the peace of conscience, and the joy that is to be our strength.

The one encouragement we can always give our children (and one another) is that God is more powerful than our sin, and He's strong enough to make us want to do the right thing.

I did my best parenting by prayer. I began to speak less to the kids and more to God. It was actually quite relaxing.

I admit that at times my prayer for my children is nothing more than vocalized unbelief aimed at God.

God never encourages self-reliance.

I thought parenting was going to reveal my strengths, never realizing that God had ordained it to reveal my weaknesses.

Idolatry is always subject to the law of diminishing returns.

To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.

Let us also reflect on the honorable service of our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces currently serving our country overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, and around the world.

Sometimes your dreams come true, and its a real drag.

I was like, what the hell is my life coming to? I'm a trained actor! I've done Shakespeare and here I am having farting contests with an imaginary dog!

Music is one of the only inanimate things we have left. It can still be mystical, magical and awe-inspiring

Who are we to say that that was an odd way to do it? I don't think that it is God's purpose to make his intention absolutely obvious to us.

This issue has brought out the ugly in our society.

Clearly, we are very, very concerned about the situation, for instance, that has been going on in Gaza.
