“Life becomes inspiring, not in spite of the problems and the hard hits...” — Joni Eareckson Tada Quote

“Life becomes inspiring, not in spite of the problems and the hard hits, but because of them.”

“One problem I have with faith-healing is that it tends to be focused only on the physical aspect of healing. But Jesus always backed away when people came to him only to get their physical needs met. My goodness, he was ready to have you lop off your hand! His real interest was in healing the soul.”

“Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.”

“I'm from the old school - you go where the power is, and you try to make fun of it. When it becomes off limits to say or do certain things without being brutalized or censored or whatever, it's unfortunate.”

“When the congregation becomes the norm by which sermons are measured, a minister has put a mortgage on his soul.”

“I believe we are built to have thriving personal lives, and I think we're built to have thriving professional lives. Where the error occurs is when one becomes secondary to the other.”
