The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.

Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.

To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.

God doesn't need anything nevertheless He wants worshipers.

What I cannot know by reason, I can know by simply believing.

Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

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.
