The church that can't worship must be entertained. And leaders who can't lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment.

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.

The God of the modern evangelical rarely astonishes anybody. He manages to stay pretty much with the constitution. Never break our by-laws. He's a very well-behaved God and very denominational and very much like one of us...we ask Him to help us when we're in trouble and look to Him to watch over us when we're asleep. The God of the modern evangelical isn't a God I could have much respect for.

God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.
