Without worship, we go about miserable.

It is quite impossible to worship God without loving Him.

After my study of today's church, my conclusion is that the church is politely bored with God.

The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.

The God of the modern evangelical rarely astonishes anybody. He manages to stay pretty much with the constitution. Never break our by-laws. He's a very well-behaved God and very denominational and very much like one of us...we ask Him to help us when we're in trouble and look to Him to watch over us when we're asleep. The God of the modern evangelical isn't a God I could have much respect for.

There are such things as consecrated griefs, sorrows that may be common to everyone but which take on a special character when accepted intelligently and offered to God in loving submission.

We are not revived because we sing; we sing because we are revived.
