Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace.

God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity.

Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.

Heaven is beautiful because it is the expression of that which is the perfection of beauty.

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