QUOTES

  • "Sometimes the prayer we want answered is just the thing that's easiest for us." - Lindsay Few 

  • "He's always good, even though we don't see it at times." - Dr. Kim Kimberling 

  • "Each of us can be thankful that God knows not only what's best for us, but for the whole world. We don't have to be burdened with that. He's got that." - Lindsay Few 

  • "If you're lining up with what God states in his word that He wants to have happen, that's going to be really powerful." - Lindsay Few 

  • "We can't hide anything from God." - Dr. Kim Kimberling 

  • "Sexual desire is created for a reason. It's not a secret from God." - Lindsay Few
