I find that when people haven't found God and do not know the new birth and the Spirit is not on them, yet they have the ancient impulse to worship something. If they're not educated they kill a chicken and put a funny thing on their head and dance around. If they are educated they write poetry.

Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.

The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.

We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.

Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.
