God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back ; then serve God with all your heart.

God dwells in His creation and is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. He is transcendent above all His works even while He is immanent within them.

I do not think I exaggerate when I say that some of us put our offering in the plate with a kind of triumphant bounce as much as to say: "There - now God will feel better!" I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have. He does not need a dime of your money. It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these. You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself - but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you.

If we possess nothing, God will allow us to have plenty.

If [something] is of God, your dependence upon God will increase.

If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.
