Salvation Quote by Michael R. Phillips
““If more of those who had set themselves to explain God’s ways through the years had devoted a greater portion of their energies to obey what He has told them to do rather than theorize concerning His work, the world would doubtless be much further along toward its ultimate salvation than it presently is.””

![“[A God-thing is] when something happens in your life, and you look at it and can't explain how or why it happened, but you know there's a reason for it. You know that God is doing something in your life, and it changes you. There's no other way to explain it except to see it as a God thing.” quote by Robin Jones Gunn](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/59b/robin-jones-gunn-11217_christy-miller_a-god-thing-is-when-something-happens-in_2627420.jpg)
