While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance.
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second
We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
Faith never goes contrary to reason -- faith simply ignores reason and rises above it.
We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.
If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.
