Brian Houston Quotes

Carefully choose your friends, your counsel, and your place of worship. Avoid those whose belief system is devoid of answers for life's everyday problems. Never accept the mindset that persecution and suffering are the will of God; they are the weapons of the devil who is hell-bent on distracting you from God's amazing plan for your life.
