Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4106. If you cannot sleep at night, don’t count sheep--talk to the Shepherd.
4107. God hears the heart without words but never words without heart.
4108. Satan laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.
4109. Prayer doesn’t need proof--it needs practice.
4110. The world seeks victory by trying to get back on its feet--the Christian by getting down on his knees.
