Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness.

True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.

Thinking carries a moral imperative. The searcher for truth must be ready to obey truth without reservation or it will elude him.

The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel to much at home in the world. In their effort to achieve restful 'adjustment' to unregenerate society they have lost their pilgrim character and become an essential part of the very moral order against which they are sent to protest.

At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His Presence.

If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.
