The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.

What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.

O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.

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

Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.
