"...the fear of the Lord involves a moral understanding, a trust in God's commands and goodness, a willingness to accept his higher understanding, and a corresponding surrender to his will. It is underscored by a genuine love and affection, tempered by awe and reverence."

"How we define faith, and what we expect from it, will lead either to a hope that is based in eternity or to a disillusionment that is based on ever-changing earthly circumstances. Disillusionment is born when we expect this world to be like the next, or when we try to live in this world without regard for the next."
