Nothing bothers the devil more than a Christian delighting in God’s presence.

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.

God and I; here is the beginning and the end of personal religion.

Dare to contend without being contentious. Preserve the truth without hurting people. Love and be charitable.

All great Christians have been wounded souls.

Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.
