The abuse of a harmless thing is the essence of sin.
Worship is why we are born and why we are born again.
We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.
When a person, yielding to God and believing the truth of God, is filled with the Spirit of God, even his faintest whisper will be worship.
We cannot enter into the presence of God while we are rebelling against God.
This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.
