Quotes from RT Kendall

God is predictably unpredictable.

The happiest pillow on which you may rest your head is the knowledge of God's will. I cannot imagine a more miserable situation than consciously to be out of God's will.

The power of the Holy Spirit cannot be successfully duplicated. If a person is supernaturally changed and given a love for God's glory, God did it.

But there is another change coming for you and me down the road. Are we ready for this? There will come a day—sooner or later—when God will say, "Your time is up." We all have to die.
