An imagination submitted to the movement of the Holy Spirit is a powerful tool in the hands of God to write testaments of His glory.
I was never really on my side in any argument. I liked the Old Testament spitefulness of the phrase Sometimes women do.
If the Old Testament were a reliable guide in the matter of capital punishment, half the people in the United States would have to be killed tomorrow.
Don't use your past history as an excuse to be miserable. Use your past as a testament to show the world just how far you have come.

This election marks a significant moment in Haiti; it not only serves as the basis of hope along the road to democracy, but also serves as a testament to the resolve and character of the Haitian people during their long struggle for peace, reconcilia...
