Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.

Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul; for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.

If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?

No matter what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth.

Because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.

This is what you are here for: to glorify God and enjoy Him thoroughly and forever, telling the universe how great God is.

A scared world needs a fearless church.
