The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.

I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.

We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.

Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.

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

Nothing's easier to talk about than surrendering ourselves and dying on the Cross. Nothing's harder than actually doing it.
