No one can long worship God in spirit and in truth before the obligation to holy service becomes too strong to resist.

It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.

Any sermon that is not birthed in prayer is not a message from God no matter how learned the preacher.

So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.

If I understand this correctly Christ taught here the alarming doctrine that the desire for honor among men made belief impossible.

The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.

God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.
