What has the church gained if it is popular but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?

There is a strain of loneliness infecting many Christians, which only the presence of God can cure.

The moment the Spirit has quickened us to life in regeneration our whole being senses its kinship to God and leaps up in joyous recognition. That is the heavenly birth without which we cannot see the Kingdom of God. It is, however, not an end but an inception, for now begins the glorious pursuit, the heart's happy exploration of the infinite riches of the Godhead.

We must never rest until everything inside us worships God.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second

The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.
