Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.

Worship is why we are born and why we are born again.
