Ken Boa: Suffering Is a Required Course in the University of Life

“Do I have an eternal perspective or not?”

“The alchemy of grace transmutes the lead of our suffering into the gold of glory.”

“The more serious we are in the ways of the Kingdom of God, the more we can anticipate push-back, spiritual warfare.”

“Are any of the qualities you most admire [in other people] forged in times of ease?”

“Every one of us in a fallen world has broken and dashed hopes and dreams and pains and things that might have been.”

“The only way you can fix a broken story is to embed your little story in the greatest story ever told.” 

“You’ve got to have an eternal perspective to navigate this temporal arena.”

“The 80 years that we call a huge time is as nothing at all in comparison with the glory [of being in God’s presence].”

“We are spiritual beings having and experiencing an earthbound, embodied experience.”

“It’s our pain that crafts our ministry.”
