When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you've been in God's plan.

What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?

We may say simply that in the sight of God we are judged not so much by what we do as by our reasons for doing it.

Speaking as a minister it is my strong feeling that no man has a right to preach to a crowd that he has not prayed for.

God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back ; then serve God with all your heart.

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

Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.
