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

In the conduct of our public worship where is the authority of Christ to be found? The truth is that today the Lord rarely controls a service, and the influence He exerts is very small. We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere; we worship our way, and it must be right because we have always done it that way, as have the other churches in our group.

I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.

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.

With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.

God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.
