A quote from Russa


"People only make the sign of the Cross in a time of trouble."-Patriarch Alexy II of the Russian Orthodox Church.

I like this quote because it reminds me to grab on to God in times of trouble.
In the Book of Acts we see that the Early Church grew in time's of trouble. This is why 1 Peter 1:6-7 is right.

6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

That's so true, DJ! I like those verses, too. I got my quote from ThinkExsist.com... where you can search for quotes using keywords. It's a great site.
